There is something about Valles Caldera. Everytime I go, from the first time almost two years ago, to two weeks ago, I just immediately relax. There is something about the landscape, the open valley around the remnants of a volcano that blew thousands of years ago. I could stare at it forever and not tire of the view.
We drove out there on a day when we didn’t quite have enough time for a big hike, but wanted to go for a walk all the same. The loop around the Caldera is a pretty one, and it’s short, so when pressed for time, we often will come for the view and the quiet.
