I love Capulin Volcano. I agree that the whole region of the Raton-Clayton Volcanic Field is extremely underrated, but only a couple of the peaks are on public land, which may explain why they are unknown. One day I would love to make a video about Laughlin Peak, which is the highest volcano in the range. Depending on how you define things, it could be considered the highest mountain east of the Rockies. I believe if you are atop nearby Sierra Grande, there is no point in the U.S. further east that is taller. I also like Capulin Volcano because you can see two state high points from its summit, which is a pretty rare occurrence in the vast western U.S.
@@OneMansOdyssey It’s a beautiful region, I want to go back and summit Sierra Grande - looks like a fun mountain. Also growing up in Iowa, I was astonished to find another town called Des Moines haha.
