Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Starting Monday, Bandelier National Monument will temporarily close the Alcove House and part of the Cottonwood Overflow Parking Lot. The closure comes after flash flooding hit Frijoles Canyon on September 5th, where water levels rose more than 5 feet. Normally, Frijoles Creek flows at about a foot. It’s recommended visitors arrive to Bandelier before 9 am or after 3 pm to avoid parking lot congestion.
