Los Alamos, N.M. – Bandelier National Monument is beginning its free summer shuttle service to Frijoles Canyon on June 27, 2024. The shuttle, provided by Atomic City Transit, boards at the White Rock Visitor Center in nearby White Rock. It is mandatory from 9 am to 3 pm daily except for those who meet one of the following exceptions:- Has a disability placard displayed on their vehicle
- Are traveling with pets
- Conducting park-related business
- Organized commercial tour groups traveling in their own bus or van
