Didn't go far today, just down to Flagstaff. Not any warmer than the Grand Canyon as it's at the same altitude but no snow. Took the afternoon to tour about. Looking at all the tourist information we'll have to come back to four corners area one day (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah intersection).
The mountains around Flagstaff are the result of volcanic activity. Sunset Crater Volcano is relatively young as it is thought to have erupted around 1040.
I was amazed at how straight the sides look. That's lava in the foreground of the photo.
In the distance is the painted desert.
