Bandelier National Monument & White Rock | Cliff Dwellings and Canyons in New Mexico

In this video, I explore Bandelier National Monument, walking through the canyon trails, climbing into carved cliff dwellings, and getting a close look at how people lived here centuries ago. The terrain shifts between shaded canyon paths and exposed rock formations, with a real sense of how the landscape shapes the experience. After Bandelier, I head over to White Rock, a small overlook area with dramatic views of the Rio Grande and surrounding desert. This video gives a grounded look at both stops—what it’s like to hike, what you’ll actually see, and why this part of Northern New Mexico is worth the trip.
