Eagle Traps: Bandelier

Eagle Traps is an easy/moderate 4.5 mile round trip, on good trail and cross-country. The first part is on Burnt Mesa trail for about 1 mile. Then cross-country for about 1 ¼ miles. We return the same way. The total elevation change is 366 ft. The pace will be slow cross-country.
The Eagle Traps are on the tip of a promontory overlooking the upper Frijoles canyon. The traps consist of two holes about four feet apart, big enough for a man to hide in. A rabbit would be tied between the two holes and when an eagle came to get the rabbit the Indians would jump out, catch the eagle, and pullout some tail feathers.
