El Malpais National Monument

Zuni-Acoma Trail Guided Hike

Take a guided hike with a ranger and discover the hidden life, diversity, and resilience thriving on the Twin Craters lava flow. The first part of the hike is through grassland along a dirt trail. Eventually, the trail turns into a cairn-marked route across rubbly lava flows with loose rocks. The guided portion of the hike will cover about the first 1.5 - 2 miles of the trail and return to the parking area along the same route. Bring comfortable hiking boots, weather appropriate clothing, water, snacks, sunscreen, and a hat.
