Valles Caldera
The Valles Caldera is a 13.7-mile-wide volcanic caldera in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico. Hot springs, streams, fumaroles, natural gas seeps, and volcanic domes dot the caldera landscape. The highest point in the caldera is Redondo Peak, an 11,254-foot resurgent lava dome located entirely within the caldera and surrounded by moat-like flows of rhyolitic solidified lavas.
