Utah Inactive Volcanoes
Fillmore, Utah
Delta, Utah Black Rock Volcano
The Pavant Valley near Fillmore doesn't look like much as you
drive past it on Interstate Highway 15 (I-15), but it is home
to a dense concentration of interesting geological phenomenon.
Volcanoes such as Pahvant Butte, Red Dome, Tabernacle Hill,
and Black Rock, all reside here. Not to mention miles upon miles
of underground lava tubes and caves in Devil's Kitchen. There
is also an abundance of springs in the area and it is the home
to the Pahvant Petroglyphs.
I would like to go out there and tour the area, I heard it was
incredibly interesting.
All of the volcanoes are inactive. The area can be accessed
from Delta or Fillmore.
