    The San Francisco volcanic field is an area with over 600 volcanoes north of Flagstaff, Arizona. This drone footage will show you some of the most impressive volcanoes in the field, including SP Crater, Sunset Crater, San Francisco Peaks, Double Crater, and Colton Crater.
    The SP Crater is an excellent example of the typical volcanic cinder crone. It's about 820 ft (250 m) high with a well-defined lava flow that extends for over 4 miles to the north. The "SP Crater" is its official name on USGS maps but there's an interesting story behind it if you dig into the history. You can access SP Crater (and nearby smaller craters such as Colton Crater) from the backcountry roads in the Rabbit Ranches and you can also climb to the top of it and enjoy a stunning view (which you can no longer do at Sunset Crater) .
    The Sunset Crater is the youngest volcano in this field. The last eruption happened about 1,000 years ago and formed the 1100-foot (340-m) high cone and massive hardened lava nearby. This crater and surrounding area is managed by NPS as the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and there're many awesome trails built in the middle of the lava flow. On June 5, 2015, some smokes on the crater scared people as rumors said the volcano was about to erupt again, despite the geologists stated the volcano was extinct. It turned out the smoke was due to a small forest fire.
    The San Francisco Peaks is a volcanic mountain range and the remnant of the former stratovolcano San Francisco Mountain. The highest summit in the range, Humphreys Peak, is the highest point in the state of Arizona at 12,633 feet (3,851 m).
    Disclaimer:
    For the Sunset Crater footages, I took off and landed the drone from the USDA National Forest land (Coconino unit) which is outside the NPS park boundary.

    First I've learned of what is north of Flagstaff

    I would love to hike to the top of this crater and see the view at sunset. It would be easy to think your on Mars in a place like this.

    I had no choice but to like this video. Could’ve been the drone shots of the volcanos maybe, not sure.

    is this location by flagstaff AZ, such a beautiful video

      Yes there're lots of volcanos and lava flows around Flagstaff.

      Just north of flagstaff, part of the Colorado plateau

    Gorgeous area. Overlooked by most people and that’s why I love it. Always feels like I’m the only one out there.

    maybe this video is just based of of old evidence, but SP crater now has shown to be be likely 5-10 thousand years old

    AWESOME!
    I just wonder about the mineral resources that are there. Like diamonds?

    This likely could have been a worthwhile video had you decided to talk to us instead of playing elevator music! Best of luck, but this is a rather awful format!

      What, do you need somebody to tell you what you're staring at? Just watch the footage and relax. 😂 Be amazed by nature and learn to disconnect from time to time.

    Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

      It's quite amazing when you open the Google Maps, turn on topography/terrain, and zoom in to the Flagstaff area, hundreds of volcanoes show up.

      @patroberts5449 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So glad you posted this, I’m going to google earth and look at the topography like you suggested. I usually look at places around Northern California like Shasta and Larsen etc

    very beautiful scenery..BUT the whole time i'm watching ,I'm thinking "would be fun riding down that thing on my mountain bike.."😂
    Thanks for sharing,

      These's actually a hiking trail up to the SP Crater but I'm not sure if it will be fun to hike with your bike.

    @MrKnochen007 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why 71.000 years ago seem like 1 year ago?

    • @vicsaul5459
      @vicsaul5459 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Google says last eruption there was 950 years ago 🌋

    • @TheSpiralAim
      @TheSpiralAim 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is new data showing that it's < 10,000 years ago.
