Ubehebe Crater  So you think
that Mt. St Hellens was a big eruption, read on. Somewhere in the neighborhood
of 300 to 10,000 years ago Ubehebe volcano blew her stack. So violent was
this eruption that the entire volcano is missing. What is left is a little
hill with a very big hole. The top of the crater is nearly a half a mile
across and is about 800 feet deep. You can get a glimpse of the different
strata as you hike along the side of the crater. And you sure will be surprised
when you see the crater itself. There is plenty to see an do here.
Several trails lead to all parts of the crater including a rim walk and
a hike to the bottom of the crater. There is no water at this location,
so be sure to bring plenty along as you travel. The hike to the crater
floor is a bit steep and you do get mighty thirsty
