Pahoehoe lava flow in El Malpais View of El Malpais Lava Fields
El Malpais National Monument is in western NM and It's named El Malpais because of the extremely rough, rugged terrain due to lava flow that covers much of the park. The terrain is so rocky in some parts that trails cannot be constructed. Attractions in El Malpais include its many lava tube caves, Cerro Encierro, a popular hill to hike or climb with spectacular views, La Ventana Arch. A paved road leading to the arch makes it easy to explore this huge natural sandstone arch.
