The views are spectacular, day or night, although our chance for a sunset visit was canceled for weather (you do NOT want to be on an iron mountain with lightning threatening.) You can see 4 different states from the volcanic rim and it has one of the darkest night skies in the country. We arrived early on Friday, hoping to beat the heat and were partially successful. We drove the narrow, 2-mile road to the rim, where we walked into the crater and the 1-mile trail around the rim (high point 8,182&#8242;). Back down to the base, we hiked the 2-mile Boca Trail. Limited recent hiking, the heat, and the altitude really slowed Gail down, such that it took 2 hours and some recovery time. (Felt a bit like altitude sickness.) So, we didn&#8217;t hike the 1-mile Lava Flow Trail until we returned yesterday to finish up the last of the 5 miles of trails in the park.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow

Fascinating story of George McJunkin, born into slavery in Texas, largely self taught, successful rancher, prize winning rodeo (and real) cowboy, who found the evidence of Folsum Man. Also, a recognition of an unsung female hero, Sally Rooke.  She was a telephone operator who stayed at the switchboard warning people of the impending 1908 Dry Cimarron Flood, and one of only a few she didn&#8217;t save (the same flood that unearthed the Folsom Man evidence). Her body was found ~8 miles downstream, with a phone still in her hand.  OH! And Black Jack Ketchum, bank robber, whose head came off when they finally caught him and hung him. Leaving Folsom, we took the longer, more scenic route back over Johnson Mesa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"5\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(750 \/ 423)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-18532\" data-id=\"18532\" data-aspect-ratio=\"750 \/ 423\" src=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-1024x577.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-767x432.jpg 767w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-1536x865-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Folsom Museum, in the old Doherty Mercantile Building<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-18531\" data-id=\"18531\" data-aspect-ratio=\"750 \/ 422\" src=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-Sally-Rooke-1024x576.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-Sally-Rooke-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-Sally-Rooke-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-Sally-Rooke-767x431.jpg 767w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-Sally-Rooke-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Folsom-Museum-Sally-Rooke-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-18530\" data-id=\"18530\" data-aspect-ratio=\"750 \/ 422\" src=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Driving-on-Johnson-Mesa-1024x576.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Driving-on-Johnson-Mesa-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Driving-on-Johnson-Mesa-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Driving-on-Johnson-Mesa-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Driving-on-Johnson-Mesa-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-24-Driving-on-Johnson-Mesa-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Driving back to Raton on the 14-mile long Johnson Mesa, above 8,200&#8242; elevation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#090d8e\"><strong>And now&#8230;we are back in Colorado, heading to Mosca!<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#31406b\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/?p=18396\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18396\">PREVIOUS<\/a><\/strong> Traveling Where Now?
