Majestic cliff dwellings of the Native American Anasazi people in the 1300's
Bandelier National Monument became a national park in 1936 when President Roosevelt enacted the CCC to help preserve and begin national parks throughout the United States. Adolf Banelier, an antropologist, discovered this region inhabited by the Anazasi Native Americans in 1880's. It is located not far from the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the Jemez Mountains.
We went to visit this Park maraveling at the awesome and majectic beauty of the mountains, vistas, woods, streams and rivers besides the Native American cliff dwellings.
