Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument is the cone of a volcano that erupted in 1064-1065 AD. Due to erosion, the cone itself is off limits for hiking, but there is an interpretive trail that leads right up to the base of the mountain, and another trail that leads up a lesser cone nearby. The eruption of the volcano effected Native living for hundreds of years.
