Vesicular lava flows located about 1 mile east and 1/4 north of Hillsboro, Sierra County, New Mexico. The locality was found by Ron Gibbs and he provides the following description and directions:
"The nearest landmark is the refuse transfer station in Warm Springs canyon just outside town. To get there, drive east out of Hillsboro about a mile or less and turn north onto a dirt road just before crossing a major wash. This road leads to the transfer station. You can park there and start walking looking for vesicular lava."
