We are planning an optional afternoon excursion ($50 for each person) to the Bandelier National Monument. Hundreds of ruins of Anasazi Indian cliff houses and pueblo-style dwellings lay scattered across the Pajarito Plateau of northern New Mexico. Within Bandelier National Monument's 32,000 acres, 70 miles of trails provide access to these ancient ruins, including the cliff dwellings and Tyuonyi village of Frijoles Canyon.  Lunch is included; attendee spouses and guests are welcome.
