Los Alamos

Los Alamos occupies the Pajarito Plateau on the eastern flank of the Jemez Mountains in northern New Mexico. The town sits above the Rio Grande valley, where mesas and deep canyons create a setting distinct from the state’s broad desert basins. During the Second World War, Los Alamos was the secret site of the Manhattan Project; today, the Bradbury Science Museum traces that scientific and military history, while Los Alamos National Laboratory remains a major research institution. Nearby Bandelier National Monument preserves ancestral Pueblo dwellings carved into volcanic tuff.
