Lava Flow Trail

Our second short hike at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument today was the Lava Flow Trail. this is a 1 mile loop trail. It was still about 29F with a chilly breeze. The park is at 7,000 ft.

Behind us, we could see the San Francisco Mountains
To the northwest is O'Leary Peak, just outside the park boundary

Looking up at a Spatter Cone
