“Our shortage of trained drivers has forced supervisors and dispatch staff to take on driving duties as a temporary measure, which compromises their ability to train new hires effectively,” said Public Works Director Juan Rael.

Bandelier National Monument will remain open to visitors, who will be allowed to drive into Frijoles Canyon. That change starts on August 29.

White Rock Visitor Center will also adjust its hours, opening from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
