Majestic views from the Valles Caldera -- the scenic crown jewel of New Mexico -- set to some glorious musical masterpieces. Visit http://www.VallesCaldera.com for more information. The Valles Caldera is a 12-mile-wide collapsed volcanic crater with with lush and expansive high-altitude grassland valleys; towering mountain domes; verdant forests and woodlands; clear, sparkling streams; waterfalls; rivers carved through narrow, tall canyons; natural hot springs; red rock valleys; and some of the most stunning and isolated scenic beauty and wildlife in the Southwest. This crater, or caldera, was formed when the earth collapsed after a catastrophic volcanic eruption took place in the Jemez 1.2 million years ago.
About 80% of these photos are from behind the gates of the Valles Caldera National Preserve (and all are within the rim of the volcanic Valles Caldera).
Featuring the following music: "Jupiter" from "The Planets Suite" by Holst; "Piano Concerto No. 5, Mvt. II," by Beethoven; "1812 Overture" by Tchaikovsky; "The Tempest" by Tchaikovsky; Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana" by Pietro Mascagni.

It truly is pretty, pretty, pretty. I have been blessed with helping youth hunters on cow elk hunts and inturn have hunt the Caldera myself. A truly awesome place that needs to be kept the way it was before the former owners sold in to the Federal Government.

Wow! The Valle Caldera is magical. I've always wanted to explore the back country of the place, and this video shows some of those super beautiful sights I have always wanted to see but haven't been able to since the access to the place is so limited. Thanks for showing how it looks inside of that special place. Love the music too. :-)
