Bandelier National Monument, Los Alamos, New Mexico

Here we are at this great park in New Mexico. It is drycamping only. Since we have a national park pass - it is also FREE admission to us. (How wonderful)




We hiked the trail to the Rio Grande River, about 5 miles round trip and about a 700 foot ascent. It took us about four hours but it was well worth it!




We toured the Alcove House which is built right into the mountain side like a cave. These were inhabitated by the Pueblo indians. They had their crops below their dwellings in the Frioles canyon. (I even climbed the four ladders totalling 140 feet to get into the Alcove House)...






Well, we're off again, guess the Jeep tour is coming up soon!
See ya down the road.
