We met a couple while in Albuquerque who told us about the “tent rocks” at Kasha-Katuwe just outside of Santa Fe. We decided to check it out and man were we glad. The views were spectacular and it’s amazing that nature is responsible for these formations. Some were pretty cool, but others reminded us of something we just couldn’t place…what do you think?
The hikes at Bandelier National Monument were already on our list of things to do and we enjoyed them as well. We first hiked a trail called Tsankawi which involved climbing a couple ladders…
We later hiked the Fry Trail and the Main Loop which led us to the Alcove House.
You must climb 140 ft above the canyon floor using a series of ladders to reach the Alcove House where approx 25 Ancestral Pueblo people once lived.
On to Durango, CO.

Thanks. Enjoy your upcoming journey. Look forward to hearing about it.
Wow how beautiful. I could not have done this hike because i am so fearful of heights so I am happy you shared these beautiful
photos. You are getting to see so many beautiful sights and what a beautiful time of the year to explore.
Yes do not miss Chaco Canyon when you are back in the area again. Also you might want to take in Chimney Rock which is between Durango and Pagosa Springs. Also the hot springs in Pagosa are wonderful.
Be safe and continue to enjoy and send photos.
