Capulin Volcano is easily accessed via a 2 mile road to the volcano rim. The road is 2 lanes and paved but follows the curve of the mountain which limits the size of vehicles able to pass each other comfortably. In order to accommodate large vehicles (motorhomes, busses, etc.), we must stop traffic so that the large vehicle is the only one on the road.
Visitors with large vehicles or busses should contact the park in advance if possible.

Oversized Vehicle Accommodation
The Monument's compendium states the maximum size of a vehicle allowed on the Volcano Road is 21 feet in length and/or 8 feet in width.  We will try our best to accommodate visitors who have larger vehicles, but accommodation will depend upon staffing and the number of vehicles at the top of the volcano.
