Capulin Volcano




Overview
Capulin Volcano, located in northeast New Mexico, is one of the best examples of a cinder cone in the United States. Unlike most other cones, there is paved road to the rim of the volcano. The volcano is between 1,200 and 1,400 ft tall and is surrounded by forests. The views from the summit are stunning. The last eruption was around 54,200 years ago, during the ice age. Since Capulin Volcano is a monogenetic cinder cone (having only one period of activity), it will not erupt again. Capulin Volcano is managed by the National Park Service. There is $15 entrance fee for motorcycles.
