Hiking trails at Bonito Lava Flow and Lenox Crater provide
excellent views of the lava, Sunset Crater, and the other
volcanoes nearby. No hiking has been allowed on the Sunset
Crater volcano itself since 1973, in an attempt to preserve
and protect the fragile and significant cinder cone from erosion.
Other volcanoes, including Lenox Crater, are open for climbing.
- Watch for deep, narrow cracks in the earth and razor-sharp
lava when hiking.
- No pets are allowed on trails. Leashed pets are allowed
only in parking lots and picnic areas.
- No bicycles or motorized equipment is allowed on hiking
trails.
- See our Day Hiking Tips.
