Bandelier National Monument

This was a beautiful walk. The loop around is not long and takes you straight through the dwellings. The area was formed due to a volcanic eruption, and the natives carved rooms into the rock face. The volcanic rock has many holes and is somewhat soft compared to other rocks, but it was still a lot of work. We climbed inside a few of the rooms that were carved into the mountain.

It was amazing how much cooler it was in the shade, and inside the dwellings. The sun can be brutal.

I'll have to add pictures another time the internet is much to slow.
