Black Rock Desert volcanic field, Volcanic field in west-central Utah, US
The Black Rock Desert volcanic field extends across 7,000 square kilometers between Cove Fort and Delta, featuring cinder cones and lava flows.
The initial volcanic eruptions occurred 6.1 million years ago in the northern section, forming the Topaz Mountain rhyolite lava domes and North Butte basalt flow.
Petroglyphs near ancient Lake Bonneville shorelines provide evidence of human presence in this volcanic landscape during prehistoric times.
Visitors can access the volcanic field through maintained dirt roads from Fillmore, with guidance available at Bureau of Land Management offices.
The Ice Springs eruption between 1140 and 1440 AD produced Utah's most recent volcanic activity, creating basalt flows and cinder cones.
