Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument is an area in northern New Mexico that is jointly administered by the BLM and Cochiti Pueblo. This is an area with a fascinating landscape eroded out of thick deposits of volcanic ash. Some of the distinctive formations are conical (teepee shaped) spires which give the area the name of Tent Rocks. One of the most popular hikes is through a narrow slot canyon.
