After leaving Taos, we drove a couple of hours up into Bandelier National Monument. The Monument is close to Los Alamos where Walt lived for a four years as a child. After setting up our camp in Bandelier, we drove to Los Alamos and visited the museums and the newly created Manhatton Project National Histirical Park, the first third located in Los Alamos. We had a nice thunder and lightening storm in Los Alamos but it didn’t make it to the campground. The clouds were beautiful over the trailers though! The next day we hiked down into the valley to visit the ruins of Bandelier National Monument. When we left Bandelier, we drove Highway 4 and went along the Jemez crater, check out the photo.
