By Ken James: The last bit of sun hitting the red tip of sunset crater, beautiful volcano in AZ, near flagstaff. This one was sketchy as i flew the drone in 40mph winds. Last night was 75mph gusts, which isn't necesssarily pleasant in a truck camper.

Clint was very sad to hear about the wildfires that swept across Doney Park and Sunset Crater, so this is not a silly post. He can’t believe he was just there last week! His sympathies go out to all the hoomans and animals who lost their homes.

Top of a dormant volcano, erupted ~800 years ago forcing the evacuation of local native groups.
We pulled over at A’a Trail, then headed up Lenox Crater Trail to get a good view of the gentle sloping crater and Mount Elden.
Lenox Crater Trail is rated ‘strenuous’ by the official monument signage. I have trouble with strenuous hikes. While this trail has the sharpest elevation gain in the monument, I think I would have needed to wear shoes without traction and leave my water in the car and attempt it in early afternoon in the dead of summer to earn that ‘strenuous’ rating. So I had plenty of energy left over to get Goomz over to the Bonito Vista and around the unpaved but well-maintained Lava Flow Trail.
Photos do Sunset Crater few favors. Even though I could still see the road from most points on the trails and I was far from alone, there were moments where I heard absolutely nothing. That silence and the stark, black landscape... absolutely worth it.
