Nevado de Colima is the 7th highest peak in Mexico, located in the state of Jalisco, near the border with the state of Colima. It is a long dormant volcano, but attached to its west side (on the other side of a saddle) is a newer, active volcano, Volcan de Fuego, the most active volcano in Mexico (even more active than Popo as this is written). The locals in this part of the country don't see too many gringos, but they treat them well when they do. Nevado de Colima is in a Parque Nacional, but the national park system is much different in Mexico. Grazing is allowed, you may see cattle as high on the peak as 13,000'+, and logging is allowed, although there is a push to discontinue it.
