Bandelier Trip on Friday!
On Friday, May 12, the class will be taking a hiking field trip to Bandelier National Monument near Los Alamos.
During the morning, we’ll take a 2 mile loop hike on Tsankawi Mesa to tour Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings. In the afternoon, we’ll have a picnic lunch, and then hike down the Frey Trail into Frijoles Canyon about 2 ½ miles to explore the main ruins. Students should be prepared for the elements and wear sturdy sneakers or hiking boots, and a hat to block the sun. They should also bring a small backpack with sunscreen, their own lunch, and at least one water bottle.
We were granted an educational waiver from the National Park Service for this visit, so there is no charge for our group to enter Bandelier. If we have time, we’ll stop for ice cream at the Dairy Queen in Espanola our way back to Taos, so kids should bring $5 or so cash for that stop.
Students should be at school ready to go at 8:15 a.m., and we’ll return by 5:00 p.m.
Permission slips went home today. Parents, please sign those and return them to school on Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks, MB
