Hike On: A Valles Caldera National Park At Long Last?

by RLMiller

Valles Caldera, in New Mexico's high country, is a huge dormant field of volcanoes high in the Jemez Mountains west of Santa Fe. Within the collapsed supervolcano are sparkling streams, miles of hiking, unusual geological features, and herds of wild turkey and elk.  Thanks to Senators Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Tom Udall (D-NM), it may finally take its place among the crown jewels of the country as a national park.  And it'll be a sharp poke in the eye to conservative, free market ideology.
