Capulin Volcano National Monument - 3rd Edition
The Capulin Volcano National Monument Book explores the history and geology of this cinder cone in northeastern New Mexico. Early Spanish explorers named the volcano for the chokecherries growing on its slopes. Past eruptions shaped the surrounding landscape and left lasting evidence across the plains. Today, the site stands as one of the best preserved volcanic cones in the western United States.
This book also highlights the area’s ecological and cultural significance over time. Capulin Volcano now supports a diverse range of plant and animal life. It is also recognized as a dark sky park, offering clear night views. The discovery of the nearby Folsom Archaeological site adds another layer of historical importance.
