Sunset Crater Review

I hiked the O'Leary Peak Trail. Fantastic hike up a volcano. You're going uphill for 5 miles, but it's not especially steep.

[View] Good [Fun] Good [Cost-effective] Good

Circular road US89 offers access to both craters and sunset (south) Wupatki site (north) easily accessible from flagstaff or Grand Canyon. The view from the room is very dramatic. The Sunset Crater is large and many other smaller volcanic cones are also visible nearby. It is easy to pass along the rugged lava on both sides of the trail. It is quite surprising that the lava in the middle and the imagined block of crater that collapsed from it 1,000 years ago and the other cones of the sunset! It is not a lava that flows as an explosive growth. There was a more challenging vertical tracking of a conical standard room with great views. There was a wooded building in the visitor center which was a fairly interesting display and forest. Descriptive markings were also great. One fee ($20.00 per car) covers both places. Plan to spend a day exploring both places, especially if you do some walking trails. The drives are absolutely beautiful from one end to the other: the changing scenery is memorable too.

The view is very good and it is free! Traffic is also very convenient

第一次近距离接触的火山，日落火山口弗拉格斯塔夫之行我们去了一个让我特别难忘的景点，那就是有名的日落火山口，它是该地区最为年轻的火山，在千年前喷发过，现在日落火山口基本上没有什么草木，特别的荒凉。在日落火山口的体验特别的不一样，壮丽的自然景观是这里最大的看点，火山口的景色也很惊艳。火山口美景行走在去日落火山口的路上，第一感受就是这里的荒凉，虽然周围有一些零碎的草木，但是都长得特别的矮小。去火山口的路上我们并不孤独，这种荒凉的景色在镜头里显得特别的有质感，我们都很喜欢这里拍的照片。日落时分日落火山口最好看的是日落时分，最好是带上单反拍摄日落火山口的景色，夕阳西下把日落火山口渲染成一幅壮美的景观，好像是一幅难以割舍的油画。本来就有一些鲜红的日落火山口在日落的时候更加的美丽，有点火焰山的味道。PS：全天开放
