September 29, 2018, Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments

Today we went to Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments.  We started in Sunset Crater and took the 34 mile loop road through the two parks.

Sunset Crater Volcano has a lot of volcanic rocks and cinder rock that is like rocky sand which plants have adapted to.  The volcano looks very pretty, but because of people causing damage, no one is able to hike up to it.  There are Ponderosa Pine, Quaking Aspen, Pinyon Pine, and Juniper trees.

Wupatki National Monument has pueblos that you can hike up to.  We went to Wukoki Pueblo first and Wapatki Pueblo, today.
