We departed Taos this morning and travelled the "High Road" which passes through Las Trimpas, Truchas, Cordova and the Sanutuario de Chimayo church.


A few views below.

We decided to travel on to Bandelier National Park which is about an hour outside of Santa Fe.

The park is rich in the history of the Original Pueblo Nation People with a number of restored cliff dwellings, some accessible by ladders.


After exploring the historical stuff, we did a steep hike up the valley wall to get a good overview of the Pueblo site. Here is a panorama shot of the settlement from the top of our hike up the opposite side of the canyon.


We returned to Santa Fe in our Santa Fe and checked into our motel for a couple of day's stay.
