BANDELIER News:
Trails & maintenance crews, archeologists, law enforcement, and youth corps at Bandelier National Monument have completed the Alcove House ladder replacement project.
These individuals spent countless hours strategizing, constructing, and replacing all four wooden ladders.
The Alcove House is now open to the public.
Remember when visiting Bandelier and the Alcove House:
- Before heading out, check the weather, social media, and the Bandelier website for updates to conditions and park hours. Please keep in mind that Alcove House will close after any snow accumulation or storms in the canyon for 24 hours out of caution;
- Check in at the Visitor Center upon arrival for the most up-to-date information;
- Treat all sites with respect. Bandelier is the traditional land of many tribal nations and continues to be shaped by their ties to this place;
- Stay on the trails and follow posted access signage; and
- Prevent overcrowding and damage to resources by self-limiting access to crowded areas. Alcove House sees significant damage when more than 15 visitors are up at a time. When seeing crowds, please wait for a turn or come back later.
