One of my favorite day trips. It is close to my house. Lots of things to see and do on this route: hiking, Jemez historic site, Bandlelier, Valles Caldera, Fenton Lake, White Rock overlook, etc.

Las Conchas Trail follows the East Fork #Jemez River through meadows, with an abundance of wildflowers, and wildlife. The trail is an easy stroll for the first 2 miles, w/moderate climbing 5 miles to the intersection of the East Fork trail.

Ancestral Pueblo people carved rooms, known as cavates, into the tuff cliffs of the Pajarito Plateau. Bandelier National Monument and Puye Cliff Dwellings are known for them, but they can be seen throughout the Jemez. I saw these next to the road between Bandelier and White Rock.

#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar 20 - my 17th post on #ChacoanBeltRoads.
Most known examples of belt roads in the American southwest are from the northern San Juan and seem to be associated with chacoan period sites. As noted, race tracks in other areas are linear. There are very few examples from elsewhere. Here are two from the later (post-1300 CE) sites of Tovakwa and Totaskwina in the #Jemez mountains of central #NewMexico.
