We hiked the matrimonial and camposanto/box canyon trails and topped off our first day with the Sunset Trail Ride through gorgeous Georgia O'Keefe landscapes. The next morning, I took the Georgia O'Keefe walk with a very knowledgeable guide, Karen. Do not miss this walk! She was amazing. We carefully walked in the arroyos to the spots where Georgia stood to paint. Karen had books of Georgia's paintings for us to see what she saw. We learned about the wild life, the trees and plants. The scenery is spectacular. It is no wonder Georgia loved this place. There are two, small, fascinating museums. It is the best paleontology site for Triasic dinosaur bones in the world. The geology of the area is 200+ million years old. We were here during COVID, but still found so many things to do. The accommodations are rustic, but my bed was very comfortable. The meals are cafeteria style and for the price, are good. It was fun to eat with the friendly staff. The Abiquiu Inn is close by if you are looking for a restaurant!

Reviewed By ANKER50 - Tampa, United States
Tsankawi is a detached portion of Bandelier National Monument near White Rock. It is accessible from a roadside parking area just north of the intersection of East Jemez Road and State Road 4. I am sure we have driven past this park more than a half a dozen times but finally took advantage of all it had to offer. An assortment of 3 ladders easily scaled by a 67 and 70 year old with interesting narrow trails etched into the tuft over the Mesa that was home to the ancestral Tewa Pueblo people in the 1400’s. Their descendants now live in nearby San Ildefonso Pueblo known for their stunning pottery. If you are fortunate enough to see fragments of pottery shards from an earlier time please respect this area as you would someone’s home. The trail is 1.5miles at an elevation of 6600 feet so be wary of any storms approaching.Lightning can strike up to 50 miles away from its origin! Carry plenty of water, wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
