this is the amphitheater of Red Mountian. When you first start on the trial it goes to the right; but my son and me walked in a straight line of the trial. I guess we saw things most people do not see. I know we saw this veiw which was much higher up than the trail is; for we had to slide down a lot of very lose small rocks.[could not walk on them just slide down standing up which was hard to do lol; the angle of the slope I guess was 30% to40%?] here is a fact link http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/fact-sheet/fs024-02/ I just been to the Grand Canyon which was awesome. Red Mountian in Coconino National Forest was just as awesome. It made me feel alive for I was standing where a volcano was blowing at one time in the past. This is well worth your time to see and if you have time check out the top for I email the Coconino National Forest and they say to me the main vent was on the other side of the amphitheater which I could get to by hikeing up the side like I was going into the site the first time in a straight line but had to go a little to the left[no trail to it as far as I know] You can camp there too. Just clean up your mess and leave it as you find it; please. When I was hikeing I thought of the wild animals here like bears or mountian lions you may check this out also when you email Coconino National Forest and carry a gun which I did not but my mind was just thinking lol. thank you all
