Jul 03, 2014 — This was my first hike in El Malpais National Monument, and the general flatness made me want to search elsewhere in the Monument. This trail definitely has lots of solitude and a great open volcanic landscape to enjoy, but I turned back after a couple of miles since it wasn't a particularly interesting hike.

If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!
