Capulin Volcano

Did you know that there is a volcano in New Mexico? There is!! My family and I went for a drive on Sunday and happened to fin Capulin Volcano. It is a really cool place to visit and only will cost you $5.00 per car to drive to the top. It is a nail biting journey, and boy, is it well worth it! The views from above are quite breathtaking and you can even take a brief walk down into the vent or hike along the top of the rim. Truly it was one of the most adventurous trips we have taken by a long shot. I got this pic off of www.tripadvisor.com  to show you what it looks like. I would have used my own pictures but I left the camera at home and my phone died just as we got there. Go figure, find a volcano in New Mexico and find yourself without a way to take pictures!! Only me. Yhe staff at the visitor center are quite lovely, very informative and do no look at you like you are stupid when you check to make sure that it is inactive..just to be sure!!
