Red Cones, Volcano in Coconino National Forest, United States.
Red Cones rises 1000 feet above the surrounding landscape, featuring an unusual U-shaped formation that opens toward the western direction.
Studies conducted by USGS and Northern Arizona University researchers determined that Red Cones formed through volcanic eruptions approximately 740,000 years ago.
The natural amphitheater within Red Cones presents educational opportunities for geologists to study internal volcanic structures through its exposed layers.
Visitors can access Red Cones through a marked trail from Highway 180, with a parking lot located approximately a quarter mile from the main road.
The northeast flank contains a natural amphitheater decorated with erosional pillars called hoodoos, protected by dense lava boulder caps.
