| erch's Full Review: Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument |
Sunset Crater is on of the most recent volcanically active areas in the lower 48. It erupted just over 900 years ago, and
left behind a classic cinder cone volcano, lava tubes, and Aa Aa lava flows. Anyone would find the raw beauty of this park a place to behold. The combination of high elevation and the Ponderosa Pine forest make this an oasis in the summer time heat of Arizona. Worth a look before or after the Grand Canyon - it is right on the way if you take the eastern route to the canyon from Flagstaff. Also take a look at Wapataki while there. Does not take a lot of time, but it is worth the hike up to Lenox Crater.
No it is not Sunset Crater, BUT the trip up to Lenox is very steep in its own right, but also very beautiful.
