Bandelier National Monument

More than 800 years ago, Ancestral Pueblo people carved homes into the stone cliffs at Bandelier National Monument. They weren't the first inhabitants of the area; humans have been living in the canyons for more than 11,000 years. Today, you can explore these ancient cliff dwellings, climbing wooden ladders up sheer rock faces and entering into breezy stone homes. A 70-mile trail network takes you past petroglyphs and through historic farmlands, hunting routes, and trade paths, providing spectacular views from high-elevation resting points. Stick around after your visit; the surrounding region is packed with exciting outdoor adventures, historic sites, and spectacular scenery.
