Bandelier National Monument Falls Trail Guide

Enhance your national park experience with this descriptive and educational guide to the Falls Trail at Bandelier National Monument. The Falls Trail follows Frijoles Creek, which flows from snowmelt and springs high in the Jemez Mountains down to the slowly moving Rio Grande 4,600 feet below. Two dramatic waterfalls mark geologic transitions along the seven-hundred-foot descent from the visitor center. This 1.5-mile trail leads visitors through a varying landscape of volcanic formations, mineral deposits, and a moisture-rich riparian area. This guide also includes an illustrated section of plants commonly found in various trailside environments.
