Site of the historic earthquake that created Quake Lake. Very cool discovery and information center. Very scenic drive, as well.

Quake Lake has a visitor center with a picnic area. Quake Lake was formed in August 17, 1959 when an earthquake caused the side of a mountain to slide and block the Madison River.
