Tsankawi:
This is one of my favorite hikes, Tsankawi is a hike that takes you along ancient an American Indian village (they lived in caves in mountains). There are caves, pottery and petroglyphs! As a child I always enjoyed playing in the caves, but it's really impressive that so much history is preserved for us to enjoy. Again, I don't think I appreciated it's uniqueness till I got older! Man, what else am I missing (I guess I'll find out when I'm older) Did I mention this hike is like 2 min away from where I grew up (no, I didn't live in a cave!)
It's a Cannon tradition to hike down the mesa to Bandelier and have french pancakes at the camp grounds! There are more amazing artifacts (but the view really makes this hike great!) Sadly we got a little rained out, but I know we'll do this one again!
Ski Hill :

I love it! And what are french pancakes?
You are so funny! Looks beautiful, I had no idea! How fun to grow up near (but not in) those caves...What a treat!
Yay for LA hikes! Love your pictures, makes me homesick.
I always liked tsankawi because there weren't as many rangers and the trails weren't marked so you could explore more and go into the caves then at bandalier. But bandalier has the stream that was way fun to play in growing up.
Terri, you shouldn't lie about the cave you grew up in :)
