Bandelier National Monument

I was lucky enough to make it to the NYC 2016 world stamp show, where I attended the National Parks stamp dedication. The cachet on this FDC was created by the ATA, and I applied this park stamp from a pane of 16. The stamp is from a pane of 16 parks, and is of a mid-1930s Helmuth Naumer pastel of the current park's visitor center in Frijoles Canyon. Issued: June 2 2016. 
Thank you Jocelyn!

Named for an anthropologist, Bandelier is one of the many parks that has Woodrow Wilson's forethought to thank. The majority of the settlements date from 1150-1600.
