Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Tours and Activities
992 Reviews
About 1,000 years ago, outside what is now Flagstaff, a cinder cone in the San Francisco Volcanic Field blew its top, showering the surrounding area with lava and ash. Since then, the minerals in the soil around the rim of the crater rusted, creating a striking red ring that lends the name Sunset Crater. A national monument was created here in 1930 when locals protested the plan of filmmakers to detonate explosives on the side of the slope. The main attractions at the small park are the visitor center, with its interactive volcano exhibits, and the short Lava Flow Trail that loops around the base of the volcano. Visitors can’t climb to the edge of Sunset Crater, but for those interested in scaling a volcano, the Lennox Crater Trail is open to hikers.

Ultimate Grand Canyon Private Day Tour
7
**This is a private tour, without the private prices**
Of all the full day tours we've given over the years, this is the one that really wows the most. It's so all encompassing with the lava flows at Sunset Crater, the 250+ Pueblos at Wupatki National monument, while exploring the the ancient landscape the same way the natives had, so that when one arrives to the Grand Canyon they come in with full breath of readiness to experience it. To experience this trip to its fullest, its best to start the day based in Sedona, or Flagstaff. Lunch at Cameron Trading post and fees to the park are included.

This allows you to experience several very old locations that are so important in the history of Arizona. Luckily they have been preserved so visitors can still enjoy them as they have for hundreds of years.
