Amboy Crater / Attraction in California
Amboy Crater is an extinct cinder cone volcano that rises above a 70-square-kilometer lava field in the eastern Mojave Desert of southern California, within Mojave Trails National Monument. A hiking trail leads into the crater and around the rim. NOTE: if hiking in any season carry plenty of water. During the months of summer avoid hiking after 10:00 A.M. and carry a minimum of one gallon of water per person. Wide brimmed hat, long sleeves and study shoes are recommended.
