Santa Clara Volcano, Volcanic field in Washington County, Utah.
Santa Clara Volcano features two cinder cones rising above Snow Canyon State Park, with basaltic lava flows extending across the surrounding terrain.
The volcanic formation dates back approximately 1.4 million years, with the most recent eruption occurring around 27,000 years ago.
Native American tribes of the region integrated the volcanic landscape into their traditional stories and daily activities throughout generations.
Access to the volcano requires careful planning as there are no designated trails, and the location spans both public park land and private property.
The volcano's presence has created specific soil conditions that support specialized desert plant communities in Washington County's ecosystem.
