| Facility: | Capulin Volcano National Monument |
| Description: | Mammoths, giant bison, and short-faced bears witnessed the earthquakes and firework-like explosions which hurled molten rock thousands of feet into the air. Approximately 60,000 years ago, the rain of cooling cinders formed Capulin Volcano, a nearly perfectly-shaped cinder cone, rising more than 1000 feet above the surrounding landscape. Some tips for your trip: Don't go during thunderstorms, as lightening can be dangerous. The highway & the park can close in the winter, during storms. It gets *hot* in the summer; be careful & take lots of water with you. And wear hats & sunscreen. |
