Entering Pinacate National Park, a 2,000 square kilometer volcanic field in the northwest Sonora, from the north off Mexican Highway 2, Cerro Colorado is one of the first volcanic structures seen. Cerro Colorado is a tuff cone built largely by wet pyroclastic surges. It is suggested that several centers of eruption and collapse are responsible for the structure which today has a crater of about 1000 meters in diameter.
