We climbed up several ladders to the point up in the rocks to see how the Pueblo people lived.


We visited the Bandalier National Monument after lunch at the park. What a breath-taking view. The park has preserved several homes of the Ancestral Pueblo People. The main attraction of the monument is the Frijoles Canyon, containing a number of the pueblo homes, kivas (ceremonial structures), rock paintings and petroglyphs, Some of the dwellings were rock structures built on the canyon floor; others were 'cavates' produced by voids in the volcanic tuff of the canyon wall and carved out further by humans.
