Capulin Volcano Trails 

The Crater Rim Trail is a paved, one mile loop. It is moderately difficult due to steep climbs and descents. Wayside exhibits with panoramic photographs provide visitors information about the volcano field.

The Crater Vent Trail is 0.2 miles one-way. This trail is also paved and changes elevation 100 feet from top to bottom.

The Lava Flow Trail at the base of the volcano is a unimproved, one mile loop that crosses one of the volcano's lava flows.

The Nature Trail is adjacent to the Visitor Center. It is a figure eight sidewalk trail that is handicap accessible.

The Boca Trail is an unimproved, strenuous 2 mile loop through the Boca area. This is the vent area from which the volcano's lava flows originated. The trail provides close up views of numerous geologic features. A self-guiding trail brochure is available at the visitor center.

All trails except the Nature Trail are hiking only. No vehicles, including strollers, are allowed. A child carrier backpack is available for loan at the Visitor Center.

Pets are prohibited on all park trails.
