Bandelier








Attached are a few photos from Bandelier National Monument, west of Santa Fe near Los Alamos. The animal photo is of Albert's squirrels, the most sophisticated looking squirrels I've ever seen. Bandelier is known for its cave dwellings (see photo of Jake and John in a cave), long house (view of ruin), and alcove house (see photo of me climbing a ladder to this cave and kiva). The photo of the plain is Valle Caldera, a volcano that blew up long ago that is now a park and working ranch.

Hi Sylvan! I was just catching up on your blog entries, and noticed the photos at Banalier and at the Caldera... Mark and I were at both places during a vacataion in the ABQ area about a year ago! I would have highly suggested Tent Rocks if you haven't been there... quite out of the way, but so very cool. However, you have long since moved on in your travels!! Hope you are having a blast!
