Bandelier National Monument protects over
33000 acres of
 beautiful canyon and mesa
country  as well as evidence of a human
presence here going back over 11,000 years.  
Petroglyphs, dwellings carved into the soft rock
cliffs, and standing masonry walls pay tribute to
the early days of a culture that still survives in the
surrounding communities.

Ba
ndelier is located on HWY 4, however during
the summer months the park is only accessible
by shuttle.  Stop at the Visitor Center in White
Rock for more  information or click on the link
