Ventana Arch / Sandstone Bluffs - El Malpais
Details
Last year I was asked about doing La Ventana Arch. It’s always been on the list.
Today I was out exploring El Malpais and came across Sandstone Bluffs Trail. As I was looking into it more, I realized it’s only about 10 minutes from Ventana Arch.
Sandstone Bluffs is 2.6 miles with wide open views across the desert and lava fields. Ventana Arch is a short walk but such an iconic spot. Since we’re trying to explore new areas this year and mix things up a bit, I thought why not pair them together?
We’ll start with Sandstone Bluffs, then head over to La Ventana Arch and take in both in one trip.
Two great spots, one drive, something new for us to experience together.
See you on the trails.
