Road to Ruins

My folks were just here a couple weeks ago, and we enjoyed a late winter day at Bandelier National Monument, site of ancestral puebloan ruins. If you've never been there, it's about an hour north of Santa Fe, near Los Alamos.



Can you see the caves in the distance?



Mom heads up the steep ladder to the ceremonial cave section of the ruins.



At the top, Mom and Dad have a look around as Tommy heads down the kiva ladder.



On the walk back to the car, Tommy and Dad spot a crow.



Mom and me near journey's end. ;)
