Amboy Crater
Amboy Crater National Natural Landmark Amboy, California <script> I’m at the Amboy Crater in the California’s Mohave Desert, halfway between Barstow and Needles on Route 66. It was formed some 79,000 years ago. It stands 250 feet high, 1,500 feet wide and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1973. This is a very symmetrical volcanic cinder cone and when it was formed a breach on the west side allowed lava to cover some 24 square miles with lava lakes, collapsed lava tubes and spatter cones. Entrance is free, open year round, RV and Trailer parking and the site offers picnic tables, restroom facilities, a hiking trail to the rim and is ADA Friendly with a ramada overlook. This is a must See!
