Human habitation in the canyons of Bandelier National Monument dates to over 11,000 years ago. Some of the most intact Pueblo ruins in the country may be found here, and many of the smaller sites may only be accessed via the park’s 70-mile long trail system. See the highlights on an overnight backpack trip through Capulin Canyon.
