The largest of New Mexico's accessible natural arches, this massive sandstone formation lies just off of Highway 117 in the park's eastern section. A short trail leads to the base of the arch.

Open seasonally on Hwy 53 in El Malpais National Monument, this small visitor information center offers cave permits, information, restrooms, and a Western National Parks Association Bookstore.
A privately owned and operated cave within the park, this volcanic area is perpetually below freezing, allowing the creation of greenish ice formations that average in thickness. Admission is from $7-15 per person.
Located outside of the park on exit 85 off I-40 in Grants, NM, the El Malpais Visitor Center is staffed by park rangers from the National Park Service. Stop in for maps, information, orientation, cave permits, a Western National Parks Association bookstore, museum exhibits, and park movies.
