Although the high country is experiencing an early thaw, and walking surfaces vary between snow, ice, and mud (to be exact, it is snowing here right now), there is a place that offers perfect winter hiking. At elevations between 5,570 and 6,760 feet, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument between Santa Fe and Albuquerque is an other-wordly place of hoodoos, occasional slot canyons and geologic wonders created by explosions 6 and 7 million years ago in the Jemez volcanic field.
Tent Rocks is open in the winter months (November 1-March 10) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your canine friends will need to stay at home while you enjoy the formations but you will definitely need to bring your photography equipment!
until next Monday,
