Amboy Crator

A little less than an hour's drive from 29 Palms out along Amboy Road there comes into view a notable, if not beautiful geological phenomenon, the Amboy Volcano Crater. It is located about three miles west of the little desert Town of Amboy. The crater is mostly black in color and reaches a height of 246 feet at its top and 1508 feet around its base. It is said to be about 6000 to 50,000 years old. However some estimates give a much more recent date of eruption of just 1500 years ago...........
