OH OH OK I GOT A QUESTION. whats the youngest like, volcano in the san francisco volcanic field

Sunset Crater!!!!!!!!! My favorite volcano everrrrrr, it erupted around the year 1050 so it's very recent in geologic terms - it's about 950 years old. It also means the San Francisco volcanic field is still active (not Sunset Crater though, that is a cinder cone so they only erupt once and then it's over - we call that a monogenetic volcano). Sunset Crater National Monument is managed by the NPS near Flagstaff. The red is from oxidized basalt (contains iron). Also, the Sinagua people in the area witnessed the eruption, safely evacuated, and eventually relocated to areas like Wupatki and Walnut Canyon due to volcanic soil allowing the areas to be farmable. I am a volcanologist so I understand the in-depth geology of Sunset Crater better than the historical and cultural significance, but I do recommend doing your own reading on it if that interests you too cuz I always think it's incredibly neat how human and volcanoes are so intertwined with one another, one way or another.

btw...Sunset Crater also makes a lot of "cameos" in my story Uranium Rush cuz the fictional town of Sandstone Springs is nearby it. If you ever see me draw a reddish looking volcano cone in the desert that isn't the San Francisco Peaks (Very large, jagged, has snow) it's most likely Sunset Crater! Anyways...from my understanding, every hill in Northeast Arizona is actually a cinder cone, so I think that is super neat...and there's like 600 of them in the area.

Also, SP Crater is the 2nd youngest at about 5.5k - 6.0k years old, still seems pristine bc its crater rim is compose of resistant lava. (Sunset Crater has a tiny bit of crater collapse which you can see on the left side in the previous image)

Thank you so much for the ask!

Day 7 Tuesday

Williams to Gallup, NM

After two very cold nights in Williams we started out for the Petrified Forest National Park but not very far past Flagstaff we saw a sign for Walnut Canyon National Monument and decided to check it out.

It turned out to be well worth the stop. As you might have known, I was previously on a quest to go to all 63 parks identified as national parks. I have been to 61. The remaining two are Katmai in Alaska (the one with the iconic scene of bears catching salmon in a rushing river) and American Samoa. I was scheduled to go to Katmai with a friend the year of Covid and it was cancelled and we have not yet been able to reschedule and American Samoa would just use up too much time and take too much of my travel budget so I don’t plan on heading there anytime soon.

So, instead, I have decided to try to go to all 429 national park properties. Park properties include sites like national monuments, national battlefields, national recreation areas, etc. as well as all the national parks. Today Walnut Canyon was my 112 site. Obviously, I have a ways to go!

Walnut Canyon was cool—in more ways than one. Since we didn’t know anything about it we were surprised to learn that in addition to the beautiful scenery (it is a small Grand Canyon), it is home to a collection of ancient cliff dwellings. You can see some from the overlook and there is a trail that takes you up close and personal to the cliff dwellings. Unfortunately, we were unable to hike the trail today but we intend to come back at a future date to try it out.

After Walnut Canyon we moved on to the Petrified Forest National Park which includes the Painted Desert. At the park we saw even more beautiful and interesting scenery along with lots of beautiful, interesting petrified wood and petroglyphs.

Of course, as has been the trend, it was cold and the wind made it seem even colder. We are experiencing more winter weather this spring than we had this past winter!

Campbell Mesa - near Walnut Canyon National Monument, AZ

Today we did another hike from the Arizona Trail trailhead near our campsite, this time we veered off to the west and did a loop on Campbell Mesa. It was a nice walk, we saw a few flowers blooming and a couple of deer. Another beautiful fall day in northern Arizona.

We finished off our hike with a beer at Wanderlust Brewing, of course. We got the insider scoop on this local brewery when we met a friend of our daughter’s, Alec, there a couple of days ago. Locals never steer you wrong!

Tomorrow we are heading to Apache Springs - south of Sedona - for our last stop before heading to Tucson. Cheers from Flagstaff!
