Ever heard of Bandelier National Monument? Me neither. But I found it on a map and camped there for two nights. It's a beautiful park. There are cliff dwellings, archeological sites, they have Pueblo people there doing pottery demonstrations and lots of wilderness. I did a hike past two waterfalls to the Rio Grande that was so beautiful! All the trees there were changing from green to yellow. It was one of my favorite hikes so far.
I'm now getting ready to do some urban hiking. My next three days will bring me to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Taos. There's a hot air balloon festival going on in Albuquerque this weekend that I'm looking forward to. I talked to this older guy at Bandelier who said there are only two things in life you have to do: ride in a hot air balloon and go to Alaska. He was dead serious too.
