Capulin Mountain National Monument-- NM
We will be going by Capulin Mountain National Monument on our trip to Great Sand Dunes in CO. We will be pressed for time. Should we stop for a few hours or by pass it.

All it is (Capulin) is a drive around and around a big volcano until you get to the top. It's a good place to stretch your legs. I don't recall how far off the interstate it is but once you get there it's maybe 90 minutes if you take in the super view.
Great Sand Dunes is well worth a stop but really needs a half day. You will want to walk out into the dunes, everyone does. Ah never mind you are camping there. I've been there but never camped onsite but I bet the sunset and especially the sunrise are spectacular photo ops.
There is a 4WD road going north, it's very sandy.
