    Tips

    February 25, 2023

    In relation to the other volcanoes in the area making up the history of the San Francisco Peaks, Sunset Crater is the youngest. The eruption of this volcano nearly 1000 years ago lead to the lands in the surrounding 900 miles being covered in volcanic lava and ash, forever changing the landscape we see today.

      Sunset Crater is a volcanic crater. Around year 1085 the ground began to shake, and lava spewed high into the air.

      You cannot hike into the crater itself, and the fee for a car is $25; there are, however, days you can enter for free: nps.gov/planyourvisit/fee-free-parks.htm
