サンタクララ山脈のおすすめライド

Located 12 miles from the main section of Bandelier National Monument on State Highway 4, the Tsankawi section offers a 1.5-mile walk along a mesa, showcasing cavates, petroglyphs, and an Ancestral Pueblo village. The trail is sometimes narrow in places, requires some scrambling in addition to climbing several ~12 foot ladders, and is quite exposed to the elements so it should be avoided during thunderstorms and inclement weather. In winter, the path may be slippery and icy. Tsankawi also can be a little challenging to locate, in large part because it signs on Highway 4. From Santa Fe, turn from State Highway 502 to 4, finding Tsankawi less than 1/4 mile on the left. Coming from Bandelier, it's easier to locate, with the gravel parking lot on the right past the 3rd stoplight.

In wartime Los Alamos, the scarcity of houses with amenities like bathtubs made them a luxury reserved for the highest-ranking Manhattan Project leaders. Originally constructed by the Los Alamos Ranch School, these well-built homes on what became known as Bathtub Row were initially intended for faculty and special events. When the Manhattan Project acquired the school property, figures such as Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hans Bethe made these houses their homes. In contrast to the hastily constructed, amenity-limited housing for most project workers, Bathtub Row became synonymous with privilege, as its homes were among the few with coveted bathtubs, earning the street its unique nickname.
