Yes, know that area pretty well, my mom is from Carlsbad.

I recall a few days in Bandelier where it was mid-90s during the day and would get in the upper 40s at night. We’d setup camp on the top of the mesas, and often work down by the Rio Grande or up near Cerro Grande. Those 1400ft (+/-) of elevation difference had a huge range of temps. From “darn, I need a fleece jacket” to “I think I can squeeze under that juniper for some shade.”

As my dad told me one time when he came to visit “I can’t believe this is your office!”

As I recall, from visits to the area, the Los Alamos/Bandelier area is VERY WINDY. This cannot be good, given the shortage of rainfall noted by Cedar Dave.
