We anticipate large crowds during the holidays. Visitors driving into Frijoles Canyon during peak hours (typically between 10am and 1pm) may experience temporary closures to the park as the parking lots reach capacity. We encourage visitors to arrive before 10am or after 1pm to avoid the park’s busiest times. Sirphey’s at Bandelier will be open through December 14 with specials on Thanksgiving.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make some adjustments so our Rangers can spend some time with their families and friends during this holiday season!
