Just outside Santa Fe in Los Alamos, New Mexico is Bandelier National Monument. While hitting the history books might seem mundane to some, walking amongst it is an entirely different experience. At Bandelier National Monument, you can get an up-close look at what life was like for ancestral Pueblo people. Explore petroglyphs and dwellings carved into the cliffs, amongst ancient structural ruins that still stand in the valley by the bubbling stream. The 33,000-acre park is teeming with a diverse ecosystem. Paved and dirt pathways, rocky stairs and wooden ladders take visitors on a guided exploration of the park’s most popular features including the ancient dwellings, falls, archeological sites, canyons and more. Visitors can even climb into some of the cliff dwellings, offering an exciting look into the past. The climb to The Alcove House, which sits about 140-feet above the canyon floor, entices visitors to climb four wooden ladders and many stone stairs to walk inside the ancient home. The park’s Junior Ranger program brings the thousands of years of history into an age-appropriate adventure that is rewarded with an official Junior Ranger badge to honor the accomplishment. Stop by the park office before and after your adventures to pick up your booklet and badge! Find all the information you need for your visit at www.nps.gov

Bandelier National Monument is a historic site with evidence of human presence as far back as 11,000 years. There are petroglyphs, dwellings carved into the soft rock cliffs. Less than an hour from Santa Fe, It is worth the trip.

20. Another must-see is Bandelier National Monument, set in the Jemez Mountains just past Los Alamos. Evidence of human presence in the area can be traced back at least 11,000 years, including ancient cliff dwellings over 1,000 years old once inhabited by ancestors of modern-day Pueblo Indians. Some of the caves can be entered by the public. Much of Frijoles Canyon where the cliff dwellings are located was devastated a few years ago by the Las Conchas fire, which burned nearly 250 square miles of high mountain forest. In some places the fire burned so hot that the soil turned to glass, followed by violent summer thunderstorms causing severe flash flooding. Most of the tourist areas have reopened, and trails and bridges are restored. One of the hiking trails is a beautiful five-mile round trip, meandering downstream through canyon wilderness past waterfalls to the Rio Grande River. Another going upriver takes you to a ceremonial cave high on the canyon wall that can only be reached by steep log ladders and steps worn into the soft volcanic rock.
