Grants Interstate 40 Lava

On the way back from Albuquerque yesterday, as I was approaching Grants, I took a couple of quick snapshots of the lava alongside of Interstate 40.

I had mentioned that the area around Grants, New Mexico was once volcanic. Mount Taylor, near Grants, was once an active volcano.

According to Wilipedia:

Mount Taylor is a dormant stratovolcano in northwest New Mexico, northeast of the town of Grants. It is the high point of the San Mateo Mountains and the highest point in the Cibola National Forest. It was named in 1849 for then president Zachary Taylor.
