Learn more about Capitan

Capitan is well-known for its attractions such as Smokey Bear Historical Park and Smokey Bear National Monument.

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.
