Declared as a National Monument in 2001, the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks are a dramatic display of nature's unprecedented beauty. These conical rocks were created due to volcanic eruptions that rocked this region more than 6 million years ago. Having been the center of attention for geologists around the globe, the site is equally engaging for families and adventurers. Start on the easy, 1.2 mile (1.9 kilometer) Cave Loop Trail that connects to the more difficult 1.5 mile (2.4 kilometer) Canyon Trail (one way). Meander through shoulder-width slots of the canyons leading to a steep 630 feet (1920 meter) climb to the top of a mesa where your reward is sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the majestic Sandia mountains.
