New Mexico is a great destination for people who look for nature and historic monuments on their travels, and most importantly who love it. Like I wrote in my last post on Santa Fe art scene, NM is filled with traditional culture and a wide variety of art, but their breathtaking views also deserved acknowledgment.

This state located in the southwestern region of the United States its landscape ranges from a wide variety of different deserts, broken mesas, heavily forested mountains and snow covered peaks. Today I’m going to be highlighting the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. Although, New Mexico is filled with immense breathtaking landscape, I will focus on Kasha-Katuwe through pictures, because like state of Arizona’s Grand Canyon, this national monument emphasizes our smallness in this world.

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument is located 40 miles southwest of the city of Santa Fe, near Cochiti Pueblo. This national parks covers a one-way trail covering 1.5 miles through a slot canyon and up a climb of 630 feet, to a lookout point where the tent rocks may be viewed from above.

Enjoy a few pictures I took while I was visiting. This is definitely an activity to keep in mind when visiting this state.
