An Open Book of Human History
Bandelier National Monument protects over 33000 acres of rugged but beautiful canyon and mesa country as well as evidence of a human presence here going back over 11000 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. - NPS
