Last Monday we had our introduction to the rock wonderland at Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona. This Monday we hiked another rock wonderland, this time an old favorite of ours, Kasha-Katuwe National Monument (aka Tent Rocks) that is only an hour’s drive from Albuquerque. It was interesting to note that Chiricahua is one of the oldest National Monuments, created in 1924, while Kasha-Katuwe is one of the newest, created in 2001.
We had an opportunity to share Kasha-Katuwe today with friends who are new residents of New Mexico. In the months they’ve been here they have seen many of the sights but hadn’t yet been to Tent Rocks. The day after we had talked to them to arrange today’s hike, an article on the front page of the Albuquerque Journal titled “New Mexico Bucket List Fills Up Fast” featured a quote by Lee praising the attractions of Tent Rocks. What a great opportunity to prove that Lee knows what he’s talking about!
