Pueblo Loop Trail Tours

Join a Ranger for an interpretive walk of the Pueblo Loop Trail (as staffing permits). Although the topics vary by Ranger, you will lean about the flora and fauna, the culture, and the history of Bandelier National Monument that you might not hear anywhere else. This short 30-45 minute tour starts from the Visitor Center and ends at the Tyuonyi Pueblo.

As staffing and weather permits, hikes are currently offered at 10 am and 1:30 pm, meet on back patio of Visitor Center. These tours are free and no reservation required.

Backcountry Get Outdoors Hike

Join our Backcountry Ranger for a more adventurous hike into the backcountry.

If the idea of going beyond the sight of the Visitor Center or the parking lot has frightened you, but you still want to get to places few get to in Bandelier, joining a Ranger might just be the opportunity you have been searching for.

Back country hikes take place on Saturdays and are by reservation only. Call the visitor center at 505-672-3861 x 0 to reserve your spot and confirm hike dates and locations. Upcoming 2023 hikes include:
