Sunset Crater is a well-known one, but there are hundreds of cinder cones in this area.

The pumice and cinders are sometimes mined, but it is a fairly low-value rock.

It really astonished me. I even pulled off the road tangent to it and picked up some of the rocks. Seems like, it was a long time ago, the rocks were purple and spongy gas aerated. I stopped in flagstaff and it looked like a really nice picturest place.
