Bandelier preserves homes of the Ancestral Pueblo people. Travel back in time, challenge yourself, and learn about other cultures at Bandelier.
The park is 50 square miles of the Pajarito Plateau, on the slopes of the Jemez Volcanic field. It ranges in elevation 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. Check out our wall photos to get an idea of the striking landscape, and come by the Visitor Center for information on things to see and do.
