WUPATKI & SUNSET CRATER VOLCANO NATIONAL MONUMENTS

Today's adventure took me to the Wupatki National Monument and the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.
These are box canyon ruins. They appear today just
as they did when discovered in the late 1800's
This is the best preserved and biggest one;
the rest of the photos are the area in and around it
This is on the other side of the ruins -
Sunset Crater Volcano
The area surrounding it is covered with lava rock
from when it erupted many years ago
