Strawberry Crater is a volcanic cinder cone in the Strawberry Crater Wilderness. The cone is about 50,000 years old. In the final stages of eruption, a lava flow broke out of the east base and rafted much of the interior cone away causing a breached cone. Strawberry Crater's name comes from the strawberry-colored oxidized agglutinate that armors the cone.
The entire round trip hike was 11.4 miles and took me 7 hours. The Strawberry Crater Wilderness is in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff.
