| Tent rocks.... I know what you're thinking. |
Today Dean and I explored Tent Rocks, a short distance west of Santa Fe and it is a spectacular place! The rocks are weathering into large cones and most of them have a hard rock that sits on the top.
The cone foundations are unique and a result of how the cliffs were built up. They were formed when thousands of feet of ash spewed out of a volcano and piled up then got compacted into rock.
One of the trails went through a long narrow slot canyon that was about 3 feet wide at the narrowest point and continued up to the top of that huge Mesa. At the end of the trail you are looking down at the tent rocks and the slot canyon. It is a magical place made better because there were very few people and the weather was decent.
I loved it and we were hiking around there for longer than we expected. Never made it to Santa Fe....but there is still tomorrow.
