	The Jemez Mountains and the Sierra de los Valles
		The other major ash flow is derived from the Rabbit Mountain eruption and is comprised of a southeast trending 4 km wide and 7 km long "tuff blanket" interbedded with a rhyolite breccia three to six meters thick that contains abundant obsidian erupted as lapilli during the Rabbit Mountain ash flow (Heiken et al.
		At the base of Rabbit Mountain the density is about 1/8 that of Locality 081199-1, and south of this locality the density falls off rapidly.
		Located at the far southern end of the Jemez Mountains, just south and adjacent to Jemez Pueblo Nation land, this Tertiary Period source exhibits only relatively small marekanites now, most smaller than 2 cm in diameter (the location is south of the map presented here).

	The Jemez Mountains, New Mexico
		Jemez Springs also has a State Monument, preserving the ruins of a 17th century Spanish mission and 13th century Indian pueblo, and the drive up or down the red rock valley is pleasantly scenic; quite winding at times but not too busy.
		This begins at the small, rather nondescript town of Cuba, on the edge of the western foothills of the Jemez Mountains, which are clearly visible for many miles - at least an hours driving time - across the bleak desert of northwest New Mexico.
		Most of the Jemez Mountains area is within the Santa Fe National Forest, so back-country camping is free, and commercial development is restricted.

	Valle Grande - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valle Grande, known to geologists as the Valles Caldera and the Jemez Caldera, is a scenic area in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico in the United States.
		It is the south-east part of what remains of a very large volcano, or supervolcano, which erupted in ancient times and helped shape the Jemez Mountains.
		The Jemez Volcanic Field, including the calderas, lies above the intersection of the Rio Grande Rift, which runs north-south through New Mexico, and the Jemez Lineament, which extends from southeastern Arizona northeast to the westernmost part of Oklahoma.

	Jemez Mountains, New Mexico Study Area
		The Jemez Mountains is a 1,300 square mile range with peaks ranging between 9,000 to 11,000 feet.
		The Jemez Mountain range is isolated from the Southern Rocky Mountains by the Rio Grande valley, and as such, possesses a number of unique species.
		Furthermore, the Jemez Mountains support a number of ecosystems due to the great elevation range and the variety of soil types and climatic regimes.

		The Jemez Mountains are in the southernmost extension of Bailey's (1980) Rocky Mountain Forest Province, with vegetation communities similar to those found throughout the southern Rocky Mountains.

		The most interesting section is around Jemez Springs - here are found numerous hot springs and pools, some hidden deep in the forest but others quite close to the main road.
		The mountains extend a long way to the north, including a region that contains the remnants of ancient volcanoes which now rise to 11,232 feet.

	BIO 111L Field Trip to the Jemez Mountains
		To the right of the Nacimientos are the mountains of the ancient Jemez volcano, which erupted and collapsed about one million years ago.
		Until the Jemez river broke through the rim to drain the caldera this was the site of a huge "crater lake".
		It still is an important part of the Jemez plumbing system, collecting water from rain and snow and allowing it to slowly percolate through the underground channels and exposing it to rocks hot from nearby magma.
