The Frey Trail switchbacks out of Frijoles Canyon and leads to Juniper Campground.

Within Bandelier's 33,000 acres there are over 70 miles of trail. Some trails are short easy loops while others can encompasses many miles and steep rocky switchbacks. ThereĀ are even two trails designated for cross-country skiing in the winter.

Stock animals are allowed on some trails (day use only) with a permit available at the visitor center. Pets are not permitted on any park trails.

A drink that tastes a lot like lemonade can be made from the berries of the Three-leaf Sumac. From this, the bush gets its common name, the Lemonade Bush.
