Bandelier National Monument (New Mexico)

Bandelier National Monument protects over 33,000 acres of rugged but 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.

Discovered that I love these parks and monuments that showcase ancient cultures when I visited Bandelier in April. Mesa Verde is great, too.
