El Malpais National Monument features an informative Visitor Center and several routes or trails open for exploration. It is an easy visit on I-40 in Grants.
We continue east through desert. We have a full tank of gas, practically a steal at 2.79 a gallon. It is times like these that this Californian takes a travel photo of the gas prices! Breakfast, hot coffee and we are off to explore. Today, there exists an opportunity to visit some interesting sites.
