"Short 1 mile loop hike, very cool views and environment. Easy but very uneven ground and lots of cracks."

"Lava Falls 30-45 minutes round trip This was a great hike, very raw land scape, reminds me of Hawaii. This isn't a hike for someone who is instead of their feet bit pretty much everyone should be able to do this. There isn't a ton of difference from start to finish but take the lava bowl spur as you in up inside the bowl and it's interesting to see for the short added distance."

"It may takes 60 min to visit lava falls and go back loop course. We can see cairn every 5-20 feet, we must follow those. There are no stable markers so these means your life markers! Great spot to see nature power. I recommend here for over 12 years old and we have to take smartphones to use google map services for our safety. It may dangerous for young children."

"This is part of the El Malpais National Monument. You can take a short hike and walk on lava flows. There are even craters left behind by the cooling lava. Be sure to wear good shoes."

"I like that you can just wander around the lava flows. There's some cool craters not far from the parking lot."
