EL MALPAIS NATIONAL MONUMENT Volcanic lava fields, caves, sandstone bluffs, a natural arch and amazing views. Not bad. This monument is only an hour outside of Albuquerque, and can be seen in a half day to a whole day. Some recommendations are: 1. The Sandstone Bluffs 2. La Ventana Natural Arch 3. The Narrows Drive. A cool drive between volcanic rock and sandstone rocks! 4. The Bat Cave at el Calderon Trail! 🥾 🥾 🥾 #newmexico #newmexicotrue #nm #newmexicomagazine #visitwithrespect #leavenotrace #newmexiconomad #gramofenchantment #nmoutside #beautiful_newmexico #onlyinnewmexico #featurenewmexico #purenewmexico #trueabq #travelnewmexico #travelnm #puresw #igersabq #instagramersnm #views #beautiful #beautifulday #hikingbangers #hikingtheglobe #hikingadventures #visittheusa
