Valles Caldera Geology Tour (Part 1 of 6): Introduction


Prior to beginning my original Eagle Mountains Master's Thesis project in 1978, along with three fellow grad students, we had a field trip to the Valles Caldera.  This was due to its relative youth and its relative proximity to El Paso.

Aside from that, New Mexico is probably third on my Top 5 states in which I have spent time, living, working, and/or traveling & visiting. 

Georgia is far and away #1, Texas is #2, by way of estimates, New Mexico is #3, Arizona is probably #4, and Oklahoma is probably #5.  This is why I drift into periods of being obsessed with west-of-the-Mississippi geology.
