About seven miles off to the south of Folsom, Capulin Volcano rises thousands of feet above Dry Cimarron River. Have no fear, the Capulin Volcano is extinct. Its period of activity occurred about 60,000 years ago. Here at the Capulin Volcano National Monument vegetation has taken hold among the cinders (scoria). High above the prairie grasses and wild flowers of the valley, the steep slopes are covered in ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, juniper, mountain mahogany, scrub oak and chokecherry. Capulin is a Spanish word for chokecherry, inspiring a name for this natural wonder.

Born in western Pennsylvania, Ben quickly discovered that his parents were passionate about travel, photography, oil painting and wildlife. Being the youngest member of his family, he grew up exploring much of the eastern half of the United States at an early age with his older brothers. Ben's photography is about that part of his youth, echoing that same passion that his parents had of the Great Outdoors. Visit
