I've lived in Albuquerque for 9 years and finally made it to Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. It was magnificent! The loop trail is great but to really see the scenery, you need to take the trail that leads to the top. Even if you are not able to make it all the way up, you will be rewarded with... more

Tent Rocks is an amazing side trip well off the beaten path. You'll definitely need a car to get there (well within an hour or from ABQ and Santa Fe) and should plan to go earlier rather than later. Wear good walking/hiking shoes and take your own water and snacks--none are available on site or within several miles of it.... more

While visiting NM last week, we saw the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument mentioned in our travel book. Sort of last minute, we drove up there from Albuquerque. (It's actually a little closer to Santa Fe.) Wow! It was amazing...absolutely beautiful. We hiked most of the way up...a relatively easy hike if you have the right shoes...unfortunately, my flip flops... more

This is an amazing hike, be sure to take your camera. I recommend staring early to avoid the heat and remember to take plenty of water. It was cool in the parking lot when we started our hike, but was hot by the time we finished. An early start will also help to avoid those afternoon thunderstorms. You don't want... more

It's a bigger job getting there than the hike itself, but well worth the trip. Bring plenty of water and a good camera. The view from the top is worth the climb, but most of the best shots are in the canyon. more

The access road is 5 miles of packed earth but no problem for our rental car. There is a loop trail (1.2 mi) that passes a cave. Off the loop you can walk into the slot canyon. Beautiful white cliffs all around and the trail gets narrower and narrower, at points only a shoe wide and you'll have to duck... more

there was some flooding that wiped out the upper part of the canyon trail before we went, so we were only able to go thru part of the canyon, but what we saw was amazing. the canyon is a winding trail of colorful and breathtaking rock formations. really nice early in the AM when we one of the first there....... more

During our stay in New Mexico, we had many outdoor adventures, exploring the interesting geology and geography of New Mexico. But Tent Rocks was probably the highlight. It is a pretty big pain the butt to get to, way off the freeway, and down 5 miles of a very rough gravel road. But it was well worth it! It's a... more

Finding the little known state park/monument is well worth the drive off I-25, it was a happen chance find, and what a find it was. You will pay $5 to cross tribal lands to get to the state owned area. Upon arrival park in one of the 3 small parking area, and you'll look up and see what looks like... more

Tent rocks are some really neat formations. They have two main trails, one that goes to a cave. I didn't go down that trail due to time constraints. It is suppose to be a fairly easy trail and about a mile long. We went up the trail to the overlook. We saw some terrific rock formations on the way. The... more
