A lovely gal introduced us to the facility which includes: A walk out to the dunes (early morning recommended!), 4000 year old lava flows, 200,000,000 year old rocks and a stunning display room, all tastefully done. There is a indoor amphitheater to watch the video describing the area and a small gift shop with drinks and light snacks. All of the this for only $5 pp and it includes access the the volcano tours in the main park. the museum was born in 2008 and the volcano park was upgraded back in 1992. Nice place for a sidetrip. Check out the roof and the massive solar project on the roof that can probably handle the huge group of air con units out the back. No expense was spared. Think of all the times you have zipped by! Well, its time you took a look or join RussBus for a R-T RP Adventure. I'll try and post some photos by the time the edit runs out. :mexico:

All purchases at the giftshop, benefit the park, museo and environs.

After hiking to the top of Pinacate several times and spending one night up there I can't imagine all of the game that Izar has been able to get on his cameras. Fantastic!
