2. Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument

3. Cameron Trading Post

   The Historic Cameron Trading Post is a shop, restaurant, motel and RV park—all in one.

   Shop the Post's selection of American Indian crafts and Southwestern art. Feeling hungry? Enjoy a meal inspired by American, Mexican and local cuisine, such as their famous Navajo taco, in the Cameron Grand Canyon dining room while you relax by the large stone fireplace.

   Take a walk through the on-site garden or peruse the selection of antique and new American Indian art and crafts in the gallery.

   If all that has left you tired, the Trading Post's on-site lodge offers simple, yet comfortable accommodations decorated with hand-carved furnishings in historic Southwestern decor.
