Bandelier National Monument

Bandelier National Monument is 50 square miles of the Pajarito Plateau, on the slopes of the Jemez Volcanic field in the Jemez Mountains. Over 70% of the Monument is Wilderness, with over 1 mile elevation change, from about 5000' along the Rio Grande to over 10,000' at the rim of the Valles Caldera, providing for a wide range of life zones and wildlife habitat. There are only 3 miles of road, but over 70 miles of hiking trails. The Monument, founded in 1916, protects Ancestral Pueblo archeological sites, a beautiful landscape, and the country's largest Civilian Conservation Corps National Landmark District.

Tsankawi

Reviewed By ANKER50 - Tampa, United States

Tsankawi is a detached portion of Bandelier National Monument near White Rock. It is accessible from a roadside parking area just north of the intersection of East Jemez Road and State Road 4. I am sure we have driven past this park more than a half a dozen times but finally took advantage of all it had to offer. An assortment of 3 ladders easily scaled by a 67 and 70 year old with interesting narrow trails etched into the tuft over the Mesa that was home to the ancestral Tewa Pueblo people in the 1400’s. Their descendants now live in nearby San Ildefonso Pueblo known for their stunning pottery. If you are fortunate enough to see fragments of pottery shards from an earlier time please respect this area as you would someone’s home. The trail is 1.5miles at an elevation of 6600 feet so be wary of any storms approaching.Lightning can strike up to 50 miles away from its origin! Carry plenty of water, wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.

We enjoyed this beautiful park and what made it most interesting is it is in the place that was where the labs were that developed the atomic bomb! Pretty incredible. The flowers were beautiful and the ducks and geese were so fun, just a beautiful place for a morning or evening walk.
