Congo Volcano
Once known as the Cariblanco (Whiteface) Peak, Congo Volcano is now named for the congos, or howler monkeys that inhabit its verdant slopes. Though ancient lava flows paved the way for the valleys and river canyons that now surround the volcano, scientists estimate that the mountain has lain dormant for almost 6,000 years.
