These are upthrust mountains, so that's just a look of a volcano. You can actually drive to within 100-ft of that summit and walk the rest of the way. That's about an hour and twenty-minutes from my apartment.

Ah, so a cirque rather than a crater. Ever been inside it? Is is accessible from the road you mentioned?

In my senior year of undergrad work we drove up into the crater of Nevado de Toluca in Mexico. Terrifying ride up with the lunatic professor driving. The road cuts across a scree field with no guardrails and a serious drop off one side. But the inside of the crater was very cool. Like being in the world's biggest stadium.
