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.

"Being a post WWII child, studying the war in school was non-existent as we barely got past WWI in high school history. However, we all knew about the atomic bombs. This museum is wonderful at capturing the history of this time period and the short time period in which the research was done. So ha..."rd to believe that this vibrant town now was at one time nothing but military buildings. If one is in the area, this museum is not to be passed by. There is no admission, the videos are short but informative, the exhibits almost overwhelming.

"I was in Santa Fe over the Mother's Day weekend and learned of this site...I am so very glad that I did! The hike is an easy one, although there is some climbing involved over some constructed ladders to gain access to the whole trail. The trail follows ancient paths of the people indigenous to the ..."area and there are informative signs along the trail that explain the activity of the people who lived here so long ago! There are small caves that you can enter to experience what it might have been like; pay attention to the walls of the trail for the ancient drawings which are, depending on the time of day easy (or not) to see. Stay on the trail because the site is protected, but even so you can see bits of pottery from the ancient people scattered about. Great views along the trail, bring water!!! There is a fee for the site, and there is an automated pay station at the trail head, although the day I was there the station was out of order and posted as free for the day. There are pamphle...

"Museum hardly describes the the total area around the building that is all part of the historical museum. This ranch for boys that was taken by our gov't during WWII for the atomic bomb research was such new information to me. One can wander around, visit the actual museum, and learn much about th..."e creation of the Los Alamos Manhattan project.
