Bandelier National Monument New Mexico Walking Tour
Bandelier National Monument is a 33,677-acre (13,629 ha) United States National Monument near Los Alamos in Sandoval and Los Alamos Counties, New Mexico. The monument preserves the homes and territory of the Ancestral Puebloans of a later era in the Southwest. Most of the pueblo structures date to two eras, dating between 1150 and 1600 AD.
The Monument is 50 square miles (130 km2) 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 one mile elevation change, from about 5,000 feet (1,500 m) along the Rio Grande to over 10,000 feet (3,000 m) at the peak of Cerro Grande on the rim of the Valles Caldera, providing for a wide range of life zones and wildlife habitats. There are three miles of road, and more than 70 miles of hiking trails. The Monument protects Ancestral Pueblo archeological sites, a diverse and scenic landscape, and the country's largest National Park Service Civilian Conservation Corps National Landmark District.
Bandelier was designated by President Woodrow Wilson as a National Monument on February 11, 1916, and named for Adolph Bandelier, a Swiss-American anthropologist who researched the cultures of the area and supported preservation of the sites. The park infrastructure was developed in the 1930s by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps and is a National Historic Landmark for its well-preserved architecture. The National Park Service cooperates with surrounding Pueblos, other federal agencies, and state agencies to manage the park.

Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico
The Pueblo people have lived in the American Southwest for many centuries. Archeologists think they are descended from nomadic hunting and gathering people who came into the region 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.
The Pueblo culture originated in the Four Corners Area (where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado meet), but it was not uniform from group to group.
Cultural differences, over time and from place to place, are reflected in such surviving remnants as architecture and pottery.
Early archeologists, studying the old dwellings for clues to their former inhabitants, adopted the Navajo term Anasazi to refer to the ancestors of Pueblo people before the coming of the Spanish. The ancient people of the Bandelier area, like Puebloan ancestors elsewhere, were farmers, who grew maize (corn), beans, and squash.
They supplemented their diets with native plants and by hunting and trapping deer, rabbits, squirrels, other mammals, and birds. They made clothing from animal skins and traded for cotton, which they wove into garments. They ingeniously made winter blankets from fibers of the yucca plant interwoven with turkey feathers or strips of rabbit skin.
Tools, including a wide variety of axes, mauls, and knives, were fashioned from animal bones, wood, and such local stone as obsidian and basalt. The people obtained other items, such as shell, turquoise, and parrots, through trade networks that ranged as far as central Mexico and Baja California.
The Puebloan ancestors occupied the Bandelier area for nearly 500 years. With less than half the monument surveyed, more than 2,400 sites have been located, but not all sites were inhabited at the same time.
For generations the people lived in small, scattered settlements, each consisting of perhaps only one or two families. Then from about A.D. 1150 to 1325, sometimes called the Rio Grande Coalition Period, the population increased. People began coming together in larger groups and, by the end of the period, villages (pueblos) often included as many as 40 rooms.
The following two and a half centuries, called the Rio Grande Classic Period, were characterized by fewer and larger pueblos, some exceeding 600 rooms, and by the prevalence of very small structures that archeologists call field houses and believe show seasonal dispersal to agricultural fields. Ceremonial rooms called kivas were up to three times larger in classic times and may reflect a changing role in ritual or social life.
The Village of TyuonyiThe pueblo of Tyuonyi and its adjacent cave dwellings in Bandelier are examples from the Rio Grande Classic Period, which ended in the late 1500s when the Spanish colonized New Mexico, bringing immense change to the American Southwest.
The modern Pueblo people have oral traditions that link them to the past, but no written record existed before the coming of the Spanish. Archeologists trying to decipher the relationships of modern pueblo villages to various early sites are often puzzled. Differences in pottery suggest that the people who lived in the part of Bandelier called Tsankawi were different from the people who lived in the rest of the monument.
Today, the Puebloans immediately to the north and east of Bandelier speak Tewa while those to the south speak Keres. What was the relationship between the people of these language groups in ancestral times? The dwellings in Bandelier may hold the answer.
Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico
Bandelier National Monument is a fantastic park about an hour north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It houses many ancient cliff dwellings and they can be seen up close by using the park's wooden ladders to climb up into many of them. We set out on the 2.2 mile trail to visit many of the cliff dwellings, including Alcove House, which is accessed via 140 feet of ladders. Check this park out for yourself as it is awesome.

Ep. 64: Los Alamos & Santa Fe | New Mexico RV travel camping
Apparently it's not if you'll have a trailer tire blowout, it's when you'll have a trailer tire blowout. And on our way to Los Alamos, we experienced our first blowout -- on a tire we bought only five days earlier in Episode 63! We safely rolled into Los Alamos and found a perfect high-altitude campsite nestled among the Aspen trees, from which we explore the Puebloan ruins at Bandelier National Monument, learn about Los Alamos' important history in ending World War II, hike Pajarito Mountain and savor the southwestern flavor of Santa Fe.

Los Alamos Catastrophic Hail Storm - 7/6/2009
Before the storm, you could here it coming. What's that noise? I asked and went outside to see a huge thunderstorm rolling in. But what was all that noise? It was the sound of thunderous hail, still over a mile away! I quickly grabbed my camera and caught the first hail stone hitting the ground in my front yard. What happened next is catastrophic! Over $1000 damage to my daughter's car, my zuchini and tomato plants - destroyed! Witness a few minutes of this nightmare weather moment, captured by XtremeHurricanes.com XtremeTeam member, Brian Osburn.
USA: LOS ALAMOS: WILDFIRES LATEST
English/Nat
Firefighters in Los Alamos in the United States are being helped by calmer winds and increased humidity as they continue to battle the massive wildfire in New Mexico.
The blaze has been raging out of control across 28-thousand acres and has forced about 25-thousand people to flee their homes.
The fire in Los Alamos was still spreading on Friday morning, but at a slower pace as winds calmed.
Nevertheless, the winds were still expected to gust up to 25 miles per hour (40 kilometres per hour).
With helicopters, planes, bulldozers and hand tools, firefighters relentlessly worked to limit the destruction of the week-old blaze.
The fire was deliberately lit by authorities to burn brush at Bandelier National Monument, but spread out of control.
By Friday morning the flames had engulfed about 28-thousand acres of land.
The man who authorised the so-called 'controlled burn' was put on leave on Thursday.
On Thursday night, fire crews took advantage of the lower temperatures and higher humidity to burn trees, grass and brush about five miles (eight kilometres) from Los Alamos, hoping to create a scorched earth zone that would halt the fire.
Other crews doused homes with water, cut brush and dug trenches in still-standing neighborhoods.
Winds of up to 50 miles per hour (eighty kilometres) had blown the fire through the town on Thursday.
Many residents may not have anything to return to -- the flames have destroyed 260 homes and damaged about 20 others.
At least two other wildfires are burning in the state.
One of them has forced the evacuation of two communities.
