Sunset Crater National Monument
Monument Visitor Center; 928-526-0502; Park Website;
Open Daily: 8AM-5PM (exc: Dec 25);

Today stands the 1,000 foot high cinder cone of a volcano that first erupted about 1064 AD and was active intermittantly for the next 200 years. Surrounding area contains cinders, lava flows and spatter cones. The bright red hues provide brilliant contrast to surround dark rock and is quite picturesque. Discovered by John Wesley Powell in 1892 who gave it the name.

The ash fallout made the surrounding area particularly productive for farming for the similar time period.

Notice: In winter the monument is sometimes closed due to snowfall.
