Tent Rocks
|
We headed to Albuquerque, a place we’ve visited many a time,
staying at the
Bernalillo KOA about 20 minutes outside the city. It rained on
most of our trip down, but the rain stopped allowing us to visit
Kasha KatuweTent Rocks National Monument. The geology here is rather unique: cone shaped
tent formations. Pumice, ash and tuft deposits left from volcanic explosions.
Above are layers of volcanic material of varying colors and above those are
various hoodoos protected by their boulder caps. A very scenic area that can be
explored on two trails. We only had time for the cave trail, a relatively easy
trail. With more time, one could take the more strenuous canyon trail.
