The Tsankawi trail is a part of the Bandelier National Monument, located off of State Highway 4, around eleven or twelve miles away from the park’s main section. Visitors taking the hike will follow a 1.5-mile path along a mesa while viewing petroglyphs, cavates, and the Tsankawi village belonging to the Ancestral Pueblo. At its height, the ancient pueblo seen along the trail consists of about three hundred rooms across multiple stories, which were built around a central circular plaza. One thing to note is that ladders are part of the Tsankawi trail, that along with the pathways, connect the cavates.
