El Malpais National Conservation Area is a stunning area to visit. It's an area filled with lava flows and sandstone bluffs. The Ventana Arch is a natural arch that is really beautiful. We had hoped to hike right up to the arch but the trail is closed to protect "the natural resources". Then we headed out to the sandstone bluffs. These bluffs overlook a 100+ foot drop to the lava flows. Ron made me very nervous as he scrambled around to get some great pictures. He said there were some natural holes that were as large as a hot tub. I imagine that after a summer rain there are probably people who take a dip to cool off.
