The Sunset Crater within the Coconino National Forest
remains to remind us of the volcano activity that occurred here
around 1060 AD. The eruption ultimately forced the
Sinagua people to leave the area. You can see pine trees
beginning to grow after all of these years that have past.
Another view of the Sunset Crater area today.
A view from Sunset Crater area looking toward the
San Franciscan peaks. Note the lava field in foreground
that remains today from 1060.
