The Lava Flow Trail at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument is short hike but packs a lot in. You'll hike through dramatic terrain formed by a volcanic eruption. The hike is worth a side trip to explore and stretch your legs.
You need to pay an entrance fee for Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, or just use a Parks Pass which gets you into all parks and National Monuments.
Gear Recommendations
You don't need any special gear to do the Lava Flow Trail, but having trail runners will be helpful on the lava rocks. In the winter, the trail can be covered in snow.
Gear That I Love Right Now
Nothing is sponsored or promoted, just the actual gear that I use.
