The scout troop got to camp at Bandelier National Monument this weekend. The boys went for the weekend... E- and I opted to go up for the day on Saturday. This is a fantastic park with so much architectural history and a gorgeous fall day to boot!
We started with a little historical movie and a quick museum jaunt. Then off to the loop hike and some history from one of the Troop Dad's.
Cool - this rock formation looks like a tree!
You can even climb up in the kivas! Too much fun!
E - and some of the Venture Crew (top and bottom)
Here's M- and his "cool" patrol
E- and some of the crew
Bandelier was super fun - the only problem was that E- and I had to leave earlier than we would have liked to make it back for mass! Also, some longer hikes would have been great. Oh well - just leaves time for more exploring in the future!
On the ride home E- and I took the scenic route and stopped at Battleship Rock for a quick side hike.
I'm in the picture - can you find me?
The evening sun coming down on the cottonwoods was amazing. Honestly, the photos just don't capture the beauty!
Fun weekend! I just wish we could get out and hike this area more than we do!
