Over time, erosion created their tent-like shape, and you can see them up close on the Tent Rocks Slot Canyon and Cave Loop Trail. The soft, pumice tent rocks are the remains of a once-active volcano that was spewed lava over the area six to seven million years ago. This is a 3.2 mile out-and-back hike with 900 cumulative feet of elevation gain that takes about 2-4 hours to complete.
Hiking trip report, map, and photos for Tent Rocks Slot Canyon and Cave Loop, located in Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, New Mexico. There are pit toilets and free maps at the trailhead. I arrived at about 7:15 on a Sunday morning, and there was plenty of parking.
The Cave Loop/Slot Canyon Trailhead is about an hour from Albuquerque and a little less from Santa Fe.
