AZ, UT, NM Road Trip
Next we headed to the Sunrise Crater Volcano just North of Flagstaff, AZ along highway 89 North. I along with one
other friend had already been here, but the third person on the trip had not, so we all stopped. Pictures are a little dark
as we were approaching dark, but everyone had a great time however. This volcano is believed to have erupted around
1070 A.D. and its eruption along with other local volcanoes changed Arizona’s very unfertile soil and made it life supporting
to plants, trees and grasses that are not found in other areas of Arizona outside of the Flagstaff Region. Check out my
Las Vegas trip for other pictures and a local Indian Tribe, the Waptki, which may have been effected by this volcanic
eruption. From here we travel to Cameron, AZ where we stay in a Hopi Indian Tribe Hotel near the Grande Canyon. This
