We were at Craters a couple times for the 2010 bloom & put together this little video of what we saw:

Also photographed the Death Valley bloom two months earlier, April, 2010:

What do you think of the idea of Craters being a National Park?

EDITOR NOTE–Don’t see much difference other than banning any grazing or hunting if that is now allowed. IT would still be managed by the US Park Service and no bigger or better than it is at the present. I would venture any effort toward PARK status is simply a matter of ego and political pressure. We truly have a great state for scenic beauty, regardless of who designates what.
