Sometime in the mid 1080s a billion tons of material was extruded, and ashfall covered about 800 square miles, forever transforming this landscape. It's a fascinating geological site.
Right next door is Lava Lake, where molten lava squeezed out of the base of Sunset Crater Volcano and spread here.
The lava cooled and formed this somewhat unearthlike current landscape.
Snowy mountains in the distance, always.
