A great volcanic explosion some 3,000 years ago blew this hole in the ground. It is about 500 feet deep and one-half mile in diameter. Volcanic cinders and "bombs" were thrown for distances up to four miles. There are several smaller craters nearby, some of which may not be over 200 to 300 years old. Ubehebe means "big basket" in Shoshone. |
