The Moon Or The Middle Of Nowhere?
El Malpais translates to "the badlands" in Spanish and is
pronounced Mal-(rhymes with wall)-pie-ees. El Malpais means
the badlands, but this volcanic area holds many surprises.
Lava flows, cinder cones, pressure ridges and complex lava
tubes dominate the landscape. There are really no trails within
this area, so exploring is fun, because you create your own trail.

This area has so much beauty and so many different
