Valles Caldera National Preserve - Valles Grande - 07 "About 1.25 million years ago, a spectacular volcanic eruption created the 13-mile wide circular depression now known as the Valles Caldera. The preserve 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 ranching history."- National Park Service "The Valles Caldera is a special place, one of my favorite places on the planet. For years it has been a place of serenity, a place to hit the ‘reset’ button when my stress level hits critical mass. Gazing across the expansive meadow from highway 4 puts life in perspective, even on a less than ideal day, because no matter how bad a day might seem, it would be far worse if this caldera wasn’t dormant. It would be fatal. The 13.7-mile wide caldera is one of three “supervolcanoes” in the United States. A supervolcano is capable of producing eruptions thousands of times larger than a normal volcano. Fortunately, these eruptions are rare, because they are catastrophic, altering weather patterns for years and raining ash across vast areas. The last time the Valles Caldera erupted it emitted 150 cubic miles of lava, propelling ash as far as Iowa. That was 1.2 million years ago.. ...Today, the Valle Caldera is a glorious landscape of mountains, grassy meadows and streams. It is home to one of the largest elk herds in the state as well as bears, coyotes, cougars and other critters. Alert motorists traversing highway 4 in the Jemez often see the herds of elk grazing in the vast meadow of Valle Grande. However, despite the benign appearance, magma lurks three miles beneath the surface. The aspen and conifer forested hills are actually resurgent volcanic domes, earthen lava bubbles, that emerged in the aftermath of the massive eruption that created the caldera.” - New Mexico Nomad #VallesCalderaNationalPreserve #VallesGrande #NPS #NationalParkService #FavoriteGetaway #ElkHabitat #NorthernNewMexico #LandOfEnchantment ##WildNewMexico #JeriRaePhotography #PhotosByJeriRae (at Valles Caldera National Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJbNcfF8Kg/?igshid=16qg3u6356and
