Bandera exploded in volcanic fury some 10,000 years ago - very recent in geologic time. It is one of the finest examples of an erupted cinder cone and lava field in North America as well as one of the most accessible. Bandera spans 1,400 feet wide at the rim and reaches 800 feet deep. The trail winds up and around and into the southern breach and to the very best vantage point for the look out.
The trail to the Bandera Volcano is nearly half a mile long and takes 40 minutes round trip to complete. The trail rises gradually from its base to its lookout for an elevation gain of 150 feet. The lookout gives a spectacular vantage to imagine earths raw, explosive fury spraying molten lava in a fiery mist to form the cinder cone and then an all out assault of magma tearing out the southern breach draining into the valley below with a 23 mile river of fire and flood of molten lava.
