Description: Grants, New Mexico is surrounded by lava flows. Where lava has flowed out on top of softer, sedimentary rocks, it provides a protective cap against erosion.

Some of these lava flows are less than 1000 years old. The Native Americans have legends of “fire rock” covering their ancestor’s fields.

Around Grants is another kind of “fire rock” now referred to as uranium. This was an area of very active mining during the cold war. As the price of uranium cooled, the mines closed.
