Learn more about Capitan

Smokey Bear Historical Park celebrates the famous cub rescued from nearby Lincoln National Forest with interactive exhibits and picnic areas. Hike the scenic trails around Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area, where rangers know which paths offer the best mountain views.

The town of Capitan holds dear the memory of the original Smokey Bear.  The cub was rescued after a devastating fire in 1950 in the Lincoln National Forest, leaving him orphaned. Fire rangers made him an American mascot for preventing forest fires. Smokey was buried here after a successful 25-year career as a spokesman.
