Great easternmost viewpoint into the enormous Valles Caldera (or Jemez Caldera) from the highway. It is a 13.7-mile (22.0 km) wide volcanic caldera in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico created by spectacular volcanic eruption of the Southwest's supervolcano about 1.25 million years ago. Hot springs, streams, fumaroles, natural gas seeps and volcanic domes dot the caldera floor landscape. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valles_Caldera
