As part of #HispanicHeritageMonth, we are highlighting Hispanic and Latinx stories to discover at #NationalParks! This week, we're spotlighting El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico. Known for its rugged lava flows and stunning landscapes, this park also tells the story of the rich cultural heritage of the region's Hispanic and Indigenous communities. El Malpais has long been a place of importance for early Spanish settlers and Indigenous groups who used its unique environment for travel, resources, and spiritual connections. 🌋 #FindYourPark #LatinxHeritage #HispanicHeritageMonth #NationalParks #LatinxHeritageMonth #EncuentraTuParque #NationalMonument #ElMalpais #NewMexico 📸: NationalParkService Images: Lava ridges, the Bluffs, and twisted trees in ElMalpaisNPS
