The tent rocks are located near our campsite and Pueblo de Cochiti. I think they use the term "pueblo" to describe a small town, not just a single home. Most of the houses are small adobe type, stucco with flat roofs. All the literature asks that the public respect the privacy of the pueblos - no drawings, pictures or videos of tribal reservations. There are so many different Indian tribes in this area that I couldn't begin to name them but, they all have a casino!
The "tented" rocks were formed by volcanic eruptions 6-7 million years ago. We hiked the 1.2 mile loop trail through the canyon. Passed on the 1.5 mile, 630 foot elevation trek to the top of the mesa! The walk was more difficult due to the altitude and dry air - we were parched! Being the good boy/girl scouts that we are we have decided to "be prepared" and leave our hiking boots and water in the car at all times so we are ready to explore at any time.
I have embedded our web album in this blog. Click on the picture to view all of our pictures from our hike and then close the tab to return to the blog. Enjoy!
