Description: From campsites its edge, trails wander down into the most recent lava flow in the United States. Five minutes from your car, you can be standing in a lava fissure. The geology of this wild black land is as hard and as dark as rock can get; forty miles south at White Sands National Monument is just the opposite. For more information, click here.
