Upper Frijoles Canyon Overlook

Our second hike this morning in the Upper area of Bandelier National Monument was to the Upper Frijoles Canyon Overlook. We took the blue route, which was a short double loop through the forest totaling 2 miles with minimal gain. We were happy to see both summer wildflowers and fall colors.

The trail went through a section of golden aspens.

On the trail back, we saw dark clouds gathering over Cerro Grande, where we were earlier today.
