Meandering among the bold volcanic features of the Lunar Crater Volcanic Field, the 24-mile byway follows an unpaved road through terrain characteristic of the Great Basin desert. Maars, cinder cones, mesas, cuestas, ash flows, lava flows, fault ridges, and alkali playas can be viewed along the route.
