Capulin Volcano National Monument

[@cerealport2726]

You make a moderately old geologist very happy when you visit places like this! thanks very much!

[@shortfuse43]

I was thrilled that you two were able to visit Capulin Volcano! When I was a geology student back in the mid 1960's, we visited Capulin and were astounded that one could actually go down in the crater. There were no paved roads and trails, only a gravel roads and paths. It was in the spring; hence no vegetation cover to speak of yet. Once on the rim, we noticed that there had been a snowfall a day or two before and all "trenches" in the ripples were filled with the snow and the darker lava ridges had melted off making for a spectacular exposure of all the ripples that looked like zebra stripes. Capulin is a must see for anyone travelling in the area!

You guys have been troopers in that cold.Thank You so much for the awesome video

[@patdandrea1941]

Great video! Your appreciation of what you are seeing is infectious. I will be visiting there in a couple months and you have added to my excitement. Thank you for your videos.

[@paradiseroad6405]

...I remember walking around the volcano... ...with my brother and my grandmother about 55 years ago...

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

Last time I walked capulin was in the 80’s. I past it often while out driving since I live in Raton. Hoping one day to get back there. Thank you for your video !

[@stantodd2769]

Thanks again for all the wonderful adventures. I love seeing you both so moved by the beauty you see and share in the vision that folks, like myself, won't see due to our limits. Thank you both again.....hope you get to place your S.C. sticker. on you next big trip. Our state has history and beauty like no other......

[@AbomAdventures]

We’re definitely ready to get that South Carolina sticker! Hope to visit many places there. 👍🏻

[@MountainFisher]

This is so awesome. I live in New Mexico and Capulin just barely scratches the surface of the state's volcanism. Best video you Folks have done on Capulin I've seen. Thanks for the wonderful video! Did you know at 22:05 you filmed a small stratovolcano named Sierra Grande? Your views of the surrounding volcanic cones was great. Have a wonderful trip and may you make it back home to the great fishing state of Florida safe and sound!

[@kevinr5187]

We went to Capulin Volcano on our trip back from Colorado Springs from Texas. Did not know anything about Capulin we just passed it on the way up from Texas and said that's interesting we will stop on the way back home. We had such a good time there. Very unique place and beautiful remoteness to it. The teenage kids loved the park. Hike it pretty was pretty tough for a bunch of flat land Texans, but we would love to do it again. Enjoyed your video.

[@daviddavis3134]

Great job on this video! All your efforts are greatly appreciated!

[@paulschwartz5202]

I have never heard of this place Thank You !

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That was awesome to see and wore me out walking with you 😁. What a beautiful place to visit with you folks. Thanks for sharing with us Adam and Abby. We appreciate your sharing. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@williegillie5712]

Boy that was quite the ride on the roof and the best view in 4k. Lots of good scenery. The dormant volcanos and cinder cones litter the west coast down into California. You’ll see them if you zoom in on google maps. I thought I overheard someone talking about a super volcano in or near California also. So much to see and experience. Thanks again for the ride along with you. Looking forward to more of them.

[@speakeasygrillandchill]

One of your best vids!

[@danielmadrid7765]

Finally get to put on the NM sticker onto the back of the trailer. I’ve sure enjoyed the big haul 21. Looking forward to your next big adventure.

[@blakecrawford5101]

This was a truly incredible video. I was just saying to my spouse that I never considered so much volcanic activity in what we’d consider one of the plains state. Unreal, and such good video quality. Once again, it’s a year when I can’t quite yet get away, so I am living vacation vicariously :). Thank you for this channel!

[@aquablue3803]

You are so fortunate to be able to see all of this luvs

[@JodysJourney]

I hope you two get a chance to visit the Pacific Northwest some day. You will love Lassen Volcanic National Park. (It’s been windy and rainy in Quartzite the last few days so I’ve been binge watching your channel. Such a cheery duo.) ❤️. Go, CHIEFS! ❤️💛❤️💛

[@mailpup]

Several years ago my wife and I visited Capulin and hiked up the rim trail and we saw a military plane flying around near the crater and it was flying below us. Of course it wasn't just for us but still a interesting aerial show all the same.

[@lloydbaker7099]

Beautiful

[@klaasbloem]

Great footage, thanks for sharing 👍💕

[@glenngore6609]

I’ve been looking forward to this video since you were in my part of the country on this leg of the trip. We pass by Capulin on our way to our cabin in Red River, NM several times a year and really enjoy a stopover to drive to the top. A fun fact: The big shield volcano off in the distance as you are driving up, at the summit that is the highest elevation in the US east of the Rocky Mountains. The mountain is called Sierra Grande.

[@areyoujelton]

Thanks for sharing! This was a great watch!!!

[@lindarainey5759]

I loved Capulin! We’ve been there twice but haven’t yet hiked it… it was too cold and windy. Just another excuse to go back!

[@lindagrennan2618]

We were there in July 2013. We got there in the afternoon and there were clouds coming in. We made it to that covered area before the cloud burst started. We had our cameras and binoculars. There were lot of mule deer there. We watched a deer that was away from the others. The ranger was there and she said let me look. She radioed other ranger. What we were seeing was a mule deer taking her newborn calf up the hillside on the east side. They had seen the mother laying in that area at noon. They had closed the rim due to the storm clouds. We will have to go back. So glad you got to stop there.

[@davidparsons3076]

The guy who built the road to the top used a mule drawn scraper. You'll be glad to know that the State of New Mexico bought the mule and scraper and now use it to clear snow from the highways between Raton and Des Moines, NM.

[@NebukedNezzer]

great view from the rim.

[@davidparsons3076]

Around May and June, the top of Capulin is covered with ladybugs.

[@johnmcmickle5685]

I have driven past that area many times since 2006.

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

Great video. Not sure if I'm ever going to be in the states again, but If I am maybe a visit to some of these places. Also I like just the soothing nature of them in troubled times.

[@markgordon6971]

You got the stamps. Pretty. See a long ways. 🖐

[@WildmanTech]

I’ve been there. I’ll never forget the gal in the gift shop calling it the ValCaneUh!

[@richb313]

A volcano is cool especially when they are as well.

[@halsnyder296]

We live on the flank of an active volcano. Mauna Loa, Big Island of Hawaii

[@lastborn8s]

I have a 100% volcanic/sysmic activity after I visit a location with Dormant Volcanos … always minor stuff within a week of my departure …but notable events … the power of coincidental observation … but I love basaltic geology!

[@steve318k]

First time I ever saw that cancellation book thing...

[@stephengent9974]

Snakes do not like cold, No problem.

[@adambell2068]

Was there just a month ago!

[@cj599]

i hope you guys go up mt scott in southern oklahoma very cool

[@mazchen]

I guess at those temperatures you shouldn't need to worry too much about snakes.

[@ronmueller3074]

Being from Florida,. 30' is Cold

[@highkicker11]

he adam you where in a active vulcano at yellowstone. whats the pull of a dormant vulcano after that?

[@desertsoldier41]

Its extinct not dormant. Its a mongenic cinder cone which means it can only erupt once. Some day a new cone will form further down the volcanic field.

[@CharlesAnsman]

What time of year did you visit the park ? As in which month ?

[@jimsmith5294]

The stamp they put in their cancellation book had Oct 15, 2021 on it.

[@CharlesAnsman]

@@jimsmith5294 Thanks, I didn't see that.

[@NebukedNezzer]

when my wife and I stayed at that rv campground the owner tried to get fresh with my wife. watch it. that was 16 years ago and the situation may have changed.

[@cj599]

ive been their about 40 times and its always closed

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

40 times? 🤣

[@cj599]
