i’m currently walking on the falls trail here in bandelier national monument

this is kind of what you see

i’m not sure what the crows are ravens or whatever noisy

this trail is only a few miles so it’s not terribly long but i haven’t been on this trail so and i wanted to check out the falls

i mean you have to be kind of careful i mean it’s a small canyon but definitely don’t want to fall down it see what it looks like

take you along on this journey

some cool trees i mean though this universe just smells good out here you can literally just smell the juniper in the air sage as well a little bit of cactuses it’s not a lot but there’s a few out here

there’s these little markers along the way i am not sure

what they mean yet i’m gonna assuming determine your location

what they mean yet i’m assuming they’re determine your location

i’m about a mile in now

to the falls trail now there’s not going to be a lot of water if anything this time of year

but it’s a good hike it’s the geo logic conditions of this little canyon make it a good conditioning hike for something bigger look at the rocks unbelievable very porous i can see why people like to make caves in them

a lot of unique color to them as well

all right further down we go

come on lower level

the canyon’s moving down a little bit in elevation noticing the vegetation is changing

cool little bridge

it’s beautiful out here

i have a feeling this is my creek that is not running which means

the falls trill probably does not have falls in june

but we’re gonna finish it anyway

and it’s a great adventure it’s great exercise
