Three-in-One

Holy Cow!

Doing three national parks, each with a Junior Ranger program, in one day is nuts!  Nuts I say!

Somehow we pulled it off though.

Before we left Sunset Crater - and this is the only way we managed to do it - we completed the activities at the Visitor Center, leaving only the lava flow trail hike to do today.  That, and we didn't start here, but ended here today - starting instead at the park farthest from here, Walnut Canyon.

Walnut Canyon is a fairly small park, so it only took about two hours to complete the activities and explore the area.

Then we were off to Wapukti Ruins - and wound up staying much longer than we planned since it was such a fun area!  The ruins are amazing, and you can walk through them.

As our last stop, we headed back to Sunset Crater Volcano and hiked the Lava Flow Trail; in a word, amazing!
