Sunset Crater

Sunset Crater, northeast of Flagstaff Arizona erupted in 1064 AD, burying some contemporary villages which had been abandoned as the volcano came to life. This view is from along the trail near the base of the crater and winds around lava flows and cinder as well as past fumeroles and lava tubes. Northern Arizona is covered in volcanoes with many in the area around Sunset Crater including the nearby Humphries Peak, site of a Mt. St. Helens like collapse structure.
