A record of violent, turbulent eruptions is locked in time in the high plains of northeastern New Mexico. Named by early Spanish explorers for the abundant chokecherries growing on its slopes, Capulin Volcano has been preserved as one of the finest examples of a volcanic cinder cone in the western United States. Designated a dark sky park by the International Dark Sky Association, Capulin Volcano promises amazing skies at night. And although the volcano at one time devastated the local flora and fauna, today Capulin Volcano is home to a rich variety of life. More recent history includes the game-changing discovery of the Folsom Archaeological site.
