This place is something like you have never seen. It is a very unique, spiritual place. The 1 1/2 mile hike in is a very slight ascent and as good as a sidewalk. As you near the volcano, you notice the huge walls of cinder on each side. Then you reach the ladder and the dam, which was built to... More

Ever stood inside a volcano cone looking out? Red Mountain is on the left side of Hwy. 180 on the way to the Grand Canyon. There's short notice for the turnoff and the road is indistinct, leading to a small parking area. The trail heading in has a steady gentle climb and there's one ladder on the main trail to... More

When you park off route 180... More
