A
couple of weeks ago, my nephew from Nebraska came to visit. We mostly just ran around town and hung out
at home and we had a great time!
We
only did one ‘touristy’ thing and that was Tent Rocks. Tent Rocks is about an hour northwest of
Albuquerque. It is a cluster of rock
formations that are the result of volcanic eruptions that happened 6-7 million
years ago. They vary in height, from a
few feet to 90 feet high.
There
are a couple of different trails you can take to the top. We chose the difficult one, which is 1.5
miles each way. Trekking up a narrow
canyon with a 630 feet climb.
Once
you get to the top, you get a great view of the mountains and the Rio Grande
Valley.
I’m
not going to lie, it was a very difficult hike for me. But I did it!
I would like to do it again sometime, but maybe on a cooler day (it was
about 100 degrees when we went).
Anyways,
we had a great time and it was nice to do something that was new for all of us.
