What if I told you that you could visit a real, active volcano right in the middle of the United States? You'd say I was lying, and you'd be right because Capulin Volcano isn't active and hasn't been for 60,000 years. But you can still visit a volcano right in the middle of the country! 

Capulin Volcano is considered one of the world's best examples of a cinder cone volcano.

But even if you're not interested in geology, the great views and abundant plant and animal life will make this a memorable place to visit!
