Tent Rocks National Monument

Yesterday, we went to Tent Rocks National Monument http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/rio_puerco/kasha_katuwe_tent_rocks.html.  It was a truly amazing place.  We hiked the three mile trail to the top (whew!), passing through a slot canyon, and passing by the unusual tent rock formations. 

Here's Karol, about to enter the slot canyon and the view inside.

There was some pretty interesting sights along the way, including the tent rocks.

 

 



 The scale of the rocks was huge.  The ones I'm in front of are some of the smaller specimens.  The ones below were hundreds of feet high.

All in all, it was a great day and I'm still smiling after three hours of mountain climbing.
