During the spring, there is nothing quite like walking through fields of wildflowers. But, wildflower season doesn’t have to end once summer arrives. In fact, there are several destinations in the state where you can view wildflowers clear into the summer months and one of our favorites are the Menan Buttes. Located in southeastern Idaho, these two buttes are actually extinct volcanoes, and when covered in summer wildflowers, they create quite a unique scene.
Have you ever been to the Menan Buttes in southeastern Idaho? Did you see the wildflowers during your visit? Let us know in the comments! You can also learn more about the buttes and the North Menan Butte Trail on the Bureau of Land Management website.
