South of Comondu' ?

Neat shot...I have no idea where it is! Wouldn't that be considered a "cinder cone" rather than a lava spewing volcano?

What a perfect view of the top of a volcano.

Never knew this was there. On our next trip, we are going to be in this area, worth checking out if the roads cooperate. Here is some more info that I found:

closest road to the volcano is 5 miles away

good hiking trail (Camino Real) starts at Rancho Las Paredes
or Rancho Casas Viejas

while you are at it you could check out the Basalt cave nearby
26° 1'16.17"N, 111°50'47.20"W

Nice! Thanks for the tip. I will check out that cave the next time I'm out there.

There are a bunch of conical volcanoes in that area. If you are looking for a fun challenge, camp at the top of this driveable hill -- El Pabellon at GPS: 26.0993, -111.8946 -- and look out over the surrounding sea of volcanoes.
