** Campsite: I'm not going to give out the coordinates for this one because I'm not entirely sure I was supposed to camp there (or more specifically, drive to this campsite). On the drive out the next morning, I saw a small sign that I didn't see on the way in that said something about motor vehicles not being allowed on the road I took to get here, even though the road wasn't blocked or anything, so... 🤷♂️

Thanks so much for bringing us these videos. I’m 86 years old and never knew this place existed. I enjoy your videos even though sometimes I’m on the edge of my chair!! I’m afraid of heights. Thank you again.
I grew up in Los Alamos, and Bandelier was my childhood playground. I climbed those ladders without thinking twice as a child - now, they terrify me! You did a great job on this video. I have watched many videos about visits to Bandelier and Los Alamos, but you are the only one that walked the trails behind Los Alamos and saw the natural arch and LA hill. Those views are such an intimate part of me. Very well done!
The 506 feet is a reference to the Tyuonyi Overlook which sits 506 feet above Bandelier.
Tristan, if you ever go back to the area you need to do the Tsankawi hike. You will be literally walking in the footseps of those living there several hundred years ago. Coolest and most atmospheric hike I have ever done.
I took my first roadtrip to NM. Just me and my dog, Auggie. We camped in the Roswell 👽 area (Bottomless Lakes State Park) for a couple of nights, then headed north to Santa Fe and ended in Taos. It was such an adventure! Love NM. This video brings back such great memories. I lost my Auggie last year, but will take next year's month long trip to WY and SD with my new pup, Sherman.
I'm a Los Alamos resident and I want you to know that you did an excellent job showcasing a few things around the area. I hate painted rocks (I'm a geologist) and that land is Santa Fe National Forest and eventually the high school seniors were made to realize that they cannot paint the rocks there. There are lots of really cool trails around (just past Alcove House is one) and nice little museums also (The Historical Museum plus Hans Bethe house - the Oppenheimer house is not yet available for the public). You would also find the Valles Caldera very interesting.
I was a maintenance worker at Bandelier when that sign was put there. You have to know the person responsible for signage back then to understand. I still think it’s an odd sign.
I'm a lifelong New Mexican, have been to Bandelier hundreds of times, but I never knew about the dumpling restaurant or that amazing arch. Thanks for respecting our State with this video.
Actually is was Oppenheimer who first suggested Los Alamos as the location for the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer was ill as a teenager and was sent to New Mexico to recover in the dry desert air. He grew to love the area. Graves was the architect of the project. Both men worked closely to bring about Los Alamos, Manhattan Project and Trinity.
I was a seasonal park ranger at Bandelier in 1977. It is a special place. It’s worth mentioning that there is backcountry hiking in the park for those with more time and physical stamina.
Mr. Pond’s daughter Peggy wrote the remarkable book The House at Otowi Bridge, on the. life of Edith Warner, who befriended both the people of San Ildefonso Pueblo, and later the scientists. You pass Otowi Bridge when approaching Los Alamos from Santa Fe.
They put 506 feet on the sign just to make you wonder why they put the 6 extra feet on it, or just to drive you crazy. 😅 🤣 😂
My kids and I visited BANDELIER in 2017. Loved it. The caldera too
I truly enjoyed the diversity of this video. I appreciate the intimate view of the Los Alamos area. My Aunt and Uncle were there, working on the Manhattan Project, and this gave me a better feel of their stories .
Loved this-we have been going to Northern New Mexico for 38 years and will head there again in late September. The love affair with that area began with our first visit to Bandelier National Monument in 1985. We have hiked many trails within the monument as well as trails around Los Alamos, Jemez Falls, the Caldera, and Taos! The energy in that area is almost palpable! We live in MA.
Taking tweens here who love to climb would be a great birthday present.
When I saw in the previous video you were camped in the Jemez Mountains I said to the screen, "If you haven't been to Bandelier, go!" You must've heard me.
Amazing video. The contrast of the indigenous and the modern (1940's) was great. If you ever make it to Australia you will notice the similarity with a town called Woomera in South Australia. A rocket range from the 1950's. Thank you.
we visited Bandolier a year ago. We too were surprised at how much we enjoyed it. Kudos for how well you portrayed it.
Tristan, thanks so much for this video. New Mexico is just amazing. I’ve been to Bandelier, however kept firmly planted on terra firma, I hate to say. Just walked the trails and watched the family climb. Wish I had tried it now. If you ever get discouraged , just know you are making many people happy, and grateful for what you bring us!
