Jemez Springs, NM – From October 5 through October 13, we will be hosting the Valles Caldera Fall Fiesta—a time to celebrate the rich natural beauty and cultural heritage of this special volcano.
Every day of the fiesta will feature ranger-guided programs, special guest speakers, artisans from local tribes and pueblos, cultural demonstrations, and learning activities. Along with bugling bull elk and glimmering fall colors, this is a fantastic time to visit Valles Caldera for the first time or the hundredth.
Visit the Fall Fiesta web page (https://www.nps.gov/vall/planyourvisit/fall-fiesta.htm) for additional details about each day’s activities.
Valles Caldera National Preserve | About 1.2 million years ago, a spectacular volcanic eruption created the 14-mile-wide circular depression now known as Valles Caldera. The park is known for its huge mountain meadows, abundant wildlife, and meandering streams. The area also preserves the homeland of ancestral native peoples and embraces a rich cultural history.
