You will find a large volcanic crater with trails leading into the crater and to nearby Little Hebe Crater. It feels like you were on the moon with dark gray ashes covering the whole area.

The Ubehebe Crater system contains several volcanic craters, cinder cones and ash hills, all relics from an explosive steam eruption about 2,000 years ago, when rising magma met an underground lake. Ubehebe is by far the largest crater, 2,400 feet in diameter and 500 feet deep.
