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.

My school secretary recommended a visit to Capulin several years back when we were traveling with our kids in the area. It was a quick stop. I would say we were off and back on the highway in about 90 minutes. The views were great, but my boys were super interested and excited about going up to see a real volcano. They are in their twenties now and still talk about it. Therefore, I guess I would make my decision for stopping on time at hand, my own personal interest level in seeing a volcano, and the people you are traveling with.
The same woman told us we needed to see White Sands on another trip. We stopped and walked around the dunes for about 20 minutes before the boys said, "Can we go now? This is just sand!"
My point is that we will all have our own opinions about nearly any stop along the way.
