Description
This wall is part of the large, circular pueblo of Tyuonyi, which lies in Frijoles Canyon in New Mexico.
Bandelier National Monument is a 33,677-acre treasure preserving the homes of the Ancestral Pueblo People.
In October 1976, roughly seventy percent of the monument, 23,267 acres became part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The park's elevations range from about 5,000 feet at the Rio Grande to over 10,200 feet at the summit of Cerro Grande. The Valles Caldera National Preserve adjoins the monument on the north and west, extending into the Jemez Mountains.
The monument named after Swiss anthropologist Adolph Bandelier, who researched the cultures of the area and was designated a National Monument on February 11, 1916. The National Park Service co-operates with surrounding pueblos, other federal agencies and state agencies to manage the park.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed.
