Mammoths, giant bison, and short-faced bears witnessed the
earthquakes and firework-like explosions which hurled molten rock thousands
of feet into the air. Approximately 60,000 years ago, the rain of cooling
cinders formed Capulin Volcano, a nearly perfectly-shaped cinder cone, rising
more than 1000 feet above the surrounding landscape.
As you pass through the ChihuahuanDesert and GuadalupeMountains of southeastern New Mexico and west Texas—filled with prickly pear, chollas,
sotols and agaves—you might never guess there are more than 300 known caves
beneath the surface. The park contains 113 of these caves, formed when
sulfuric acid dissolved the surrounding limestone, creating some of the
largest caves in North America.

many surprises. Lava flows, cinder cones, pressure ridges and complex lava
tubes dominate the landscape. A closer look reveals high desert environments
where animals and plants thrive. Prehistoric ruins, ancient cairns, rock

prepared for exploring this rugged place.
A reliable waterhole hidden at the base of a sandstone
bluff made El Morro (the headland) a popular campsite. Ancestral Puebloans
and Spanish and American travelers carved over 2,000 signatures,
dates, messages, and petroglyphs for hundreds of years. We invite
you to make El Morro a stopping point during your travels.
Fort Union was established in 1851 as the guardian of the
Santa Fe Trail. During its forty-year history, three different forts were
constructed close together. The third Fort Union was the largest in the

network of Santa Fe Trail ruts can be seen here.
