Bandelier National Monument
Hundreds of ruins of Anasazi cliff houses and pueblo-style dwellings lay scattered across the Pajarito Plateau of northern New Mexico. Within Bandelier National Monument's 32,000 acres, 70 miles of trails provide access to these ancient ruins, including the cliff dwellings and Tyuonyi village of Frijoles Canyon.
Tsankawi, a separate section of the monument 11 miles north of the main entrance, protects an unexcavated ruin, cave dwellings and many petroglyphs. Sight-seeing at the ruins and other trail hiking, backpacking, bird watching, camping and picnicking areas are available.
Bandelier has a long human history and links to the modern Pueblos. At Bandelier, evidence of the Ancestral Pueblo people can be found in the dwellings, artifacts and the continuing culture of the modern pueblos.
Self-guided and ranger-led tours are available. Backcountry hiking permits can be obtained at the Visitor Center.
