For our final outing of the trip, we took Thomas to Bandelier National Monument. After the ride from White Rock on the shuttle, we started in the shade of the cottonwoods along the river where it was cooler.
The Walkabout
Bandelier Hike.PatThomas.2018-08-16 (The track is truncated at the beginning; I forgot to start the GPS. Disregard the blue graph of speed; GPS signal was lost while in the Alcove House.)
It was a very pleasant walk up to the Alcove House. Of course, we climbed up the ladders to the House. Then back down and returning to the Visitors Center via the Tyonyi Trail.

I urge you to explore our hiking tracks with Google Earth. With the virtual 3-dimensional presentation, achieved by panning and tilting the view, you can get a much better idea of the hikes and terrain than you can get from the 2-dimensional screenshot above. For assistance: Using Google Earth Track Files.
