On our way towards Flagstaff, a town in Arizona where we were going to spend the night, we saw road signs for the Sunset Crater National Monument and decided to take a break there. This cone shaped crater, created by a volcano, is the most recent in the history of the San Francisco Mountain in Arizona. The cone is 1120 ft high and was most likely created in 1085.
The lava from this volcano spread mainly in the northwest direction. There is a 2 km long road that takes you up to the lava field. The rest of the area is restricted to visitors. After watching the sunset here, we headed to Flagstaff. Our actual plan was to go to Sedona, however, we could not get a hotel there due to the weekend crowd and hence, we spent the night in Flagstaff.
