Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument

by Rose Houk

Scientists estimate that this rather rare beast in northern Arizona first erupted in A.D. 1064, and then on and off for a century and a half. Cinders from the final eruption, rusty red from the iron they contain, give the cone a distinctive sunset glow, hence the name.
