Capulin

Here is Sierra Grande, an extinct shield volcano in northeastern New Mexico that rises 2,200 feet above the surrounding plain. It is part of the inactive Raton-Clayton volcanic field.
The hike around Capulin was 1 mile and very steep. Ben took turns riding on our shoulders.

A look up from the middle of the volcano.
