Description
Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument is a U.S. National Monument located 40 miles southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico (near Cochiti). Kasha-Katuwe means "white cliffs" in the Pueblo language Keresan.
The area owes its remarkable geology to layers of volcanic rock and ash deposited by a volcanic explosion that occurred 6 to 7 million years ago. Over time, weathering and erosion of these layers created canyons and tent rocks. The tent rocks themselves are cones of soft pumice and tuff beneath harder caprocks, and vary in height from a few feet to 90 feet.
I took this photo on a trail that eventually leads through a slot canyon and up to the top of the cliffs.
