Facilities at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument include parking, a self-pay fee station (entry $5 per vehicle in 2016, part of which goes to the Cochiti tribe), rest rooms, picnic places but no campground; all are set amid juniper-pinyon pine woodland next to the access road, from which two linked paths lead northeastwards into the formations, both designated National Recreational Trails. The Cave Loop/Slot Canyon Trailhead is about an hour from Albuquerque and a little less from Santa Fe. Entry to the monument is $5 per car. I arrived at about 7:15 on a Sunday morning, and there was plenty of parking. There are pit toilets and free maps at the trailhead.

Between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico is the Cochiti Pueblo and Indian Reservation. On the Reserve is the Kashe-Katuwe [pron. ??? - I'll guess at KAH-shay KAH-too-way and means White Cliffs] Tent Rocks National Monument, an area of volcanic tuff and hardened pumice eroded into tent or cone shapes. Only two trails are open - the Cave Loop Trail and the Slot Canyon Trail; the Veteran's Memorial Scenic Overlook and upper Loop Trail are closed due to the recent flooding. As we hike, not only are we treated to the incredible tent rock formations, but also magnificent views of the valley and surrounding mountains as we hike up the slot canyon to the top of one of the mesas. What a truly enchanted land.Tent Rocks Slot Canyon Trail Cochiti Pueblo Bonito
