I found some blooming Ocotillo! Love them. There was discussion at the ranger talk about whether Ocotillo is a tree or not.

Sunset Crater, the 3rd National Monument I visited near Flagstaff. This crater is a cinder cone from approximately 1,000 years ago. Very interesting movie in the visitor center describing the volcanic activity in the area.
