TENT ROCKS

Helen left her photos of our Saturday hike at Tent Rocks National Monument on my computer, so I'll post a few here.


This was my first time there. Anton's too. We were all impressed. It's so otherwordly -- "the landscape of Pluto" is what I kept saying. (The "blue" photo below reminds me of a Van Gogh painting.) Hard to believe it's so close to Santa Fe (just down the road near Cochiti Pueblo.)



The hike was fairly easy too, which is good because I'm so out of shape. At some points though you have to pass through very narrow spaces between the rock walls. It's definitely not for the claustrophobic.
