Hiking and Stargazing at SP Crater

Hike the Lava Flow Trail at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
Get started on the hike from the parking lot. The first quarter mile is paved and very easy to walk. The rest of the trail takes you to the base of the volcano through lava flows and tubes. This is an incredible landscape to take in along your hike.
