Another day, another National Monument. Today we went north instead of south and visited Bandelier National Monument. We were going to go to Mesa Verde National Park on my November visit, but the government was shut down. This time of year it is too snowy and icy there for a visit, so today was kind of a warm-up for that Mesa Verde visit. There are cliff dwellings in Bandelier, but of a different sort. Visiting the national parks at this time of year is great because they are so uncrowded. While wandering the ruins for over an hour, we saw only one other couple.
