"The Ubehebe Crater" Ubehebe Crater Tip by mikelisaanna

The Ubehebe Crater is a 770-foot deep and 3000-foot wide crater that was formed when groundwater heated by magma exploded over 3000 years ago. The area for miles around the crater is covered with cinders from the explosion. There is a road to the rim of the crater which allows you to walk to its edge and peer inside.

Directions: About eight miles west of Scotty's Castle in the northern section of the park.
