Bandelier is a stunning place. Today visitors pull out their cameras or cell phones to record the evidence of long term human activity or the grandeur of the park's natural features. As long as the technology has existed, people have found Bandelier to be a place that inspires them to capture it on film or digitally. This photographic record provides interesting documentation of change throughout the park's history.
