THE TREES ARE ALIVE... with ladybugs! This is just one of the many trees that ladybugs are starting to gather on. These colorful creatures will be at the highest point of the volcano until August for the phenomenon called hill-topping. 🐞🐞🐞 -Ranger Nick

This week is #VolcanoWeek and we’d like to introduce you to the star herself, Capulin Volcano! A cinder cone, Capulin erupted into existence around 60,000 years ago and has been greeting visitors that travel over the plains of northeastern New Mexico ever since. 📷: Tim Keller

There are few things more beautiful than a volcano covered in snow. No matter the time of the year, Capulin always provides a sensational view!

This black bear has been spotted around the volcano for the last few days. The bear has been taking advantage of the food that the surrounding area, he must be getting ready for the long winter sleep!

This is a snake that is not spotted at Capulin very often! The Red Racer is a type of Western Coachwhip that has a beautiful red coloring. Their diet consists of lizards, birds, mice, and even smaller snakes. (1st photo courtesy NPS, 2nd via Sante Fe New Mexican)

Happy 104th birthday Capulin Volcano!! 🎉 On August 9, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson created Capulin Mountain National Monument to preserve “the most perfect specimen of extinct volcanoes in North America.” What are your favorite memories of Capulin Volcano?

The volcano has had a frequent visitor for the last couple of months. This is a "Black Bear" despite it's light coloring, many black bears in the Southwest are lighter colored to help deal with heat stress.

We're excited to hear @CapulinNPS is reopening - this drawing of the volcano and layout of the road is from a 1933 widening project and found in our National Park Service records. As Cody the Archivist and his brother can attest, the views are amazing!

This Great Horned Owl and her Owlets have decided Capulin is a good place to roost. Soon the owlets will become fully feathered and ready for a life of flight, but for now they are still in their “branching” stage.
