Bandelier National Monument is reopening more trails to the public on Monday, July 13, 2020.
Even when the most visited part of the park was closed, over 95% of the park's 70+ miles of trail have remained open for hiking.
Not everything is currently open. If you have visited in the past, you should not expect this visit to be the same. See park closures for details.
Frijoles Canyon's carrying capacity at this time has been set at 50% of our parking spaces. Once those spaces are filled any additional visitors will be turned away at the park entrance.
Restroom facilities are limited. Check before you hike so you know their location.
Bring food and water. Temperatures may be hot. There are no "indoors" (climate controlled) locations open at this time. Dress appropriately.
The New Mexico state health department requires the wearing of a face mask in any public places. Remember to bring one and wear it.
Social distancing is also a mandate of the state. Please keep a minimum of 6 feet between yourself and other parties. Yes, that includes rangers.
Anyone traveling from outside the state of New Mexico must observe a 14 day self-quarantine.
On July 13, 2020 Bandelier will resume collecting entrance fees for visiting the park. We accept all valid NPS passes.
New Mexico Health Department says facemasks are required whenever a person is in a public space.
