El Malpais National Monument

El Malpais National Monument is part of a large volcanic field, with dark and light colored landforms, sandstone bluffs with inactive and some potentially active volcanoes in the area. El Malpais means badlands due to the barren appearance of the terrain, which however has an intrinsic surrealistic beauty. Here you will find cinder cones, ridges, craters and lava tubes caves. The Ventana Arch is a massive sandstone natural arch that has a short trail to a panoramic view of the landscape. This is only one of several areas that provide superb and spectacular views. Whether you hike the trails or drive through the Monument there are exciting, wonderful formations to see.
