Bandelier National Monument
is one of New Mexico's greatest treasures. Situated in a colorful, narrow
canyon near Los Alamos, New Mexico, where early Native Americans (Puebloans)
carved away at the soft volcanic ash that lines the walls of the canyon
to build their dwellings. The drive to Bandelier is a treat in itself,
with its winding road that passes over and through a maze of mesas and
canyons. Located just 45 minutes from Santa Fe, you'll want to be sure
and include a visit to Bandelier while in the Santa Fe area.
The photographs in this
photo tour were taken in late June of 2006. They highlight the natural
beauty and historical significance of Bandelier National Monument. Related
links for Bandelier and the Los Alamos area are listed near the bottom
of this page.
