Capulin Volcano NM

Capulin Volcano is an iconic part of the northeastern New Mexico landscape. This cinder cone volcano is part of the Raton-Clayton Volcanic Field, and it provides visitors with an up-close look at the area's volcanic geology. The views from the volcano's rim are truly spectacular, and on a clear day, you can see all the way to four different states. The night sky here is also one of the darkest in the country, making it a perfect place for stargazing.
