Kasha Katuwe - March 30, 2013

Although we missed having John and his family join us for the Easter Weekend, we did take the opportunity to enjoy the nice weather and go on a little hike at the Kasha Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument outside of Santa Fe.

 The area which is in the foothills of the Jemez Mountains is famous for its "tent like" formations and the narrow canyon carved into volcanic pumice.

 It's a wonderful combination of colors - red & tan cliffs, green ponderosa pine trees, and of course, blue skies.

It's also kind of a photographers dreamland.  Besides the beautiful colors and marvelous shapes there always seems to be a way to get the sun to just barely peak out from behind a cliff or tree.

The boys did a great job on the hike.  Even Michael logged in a mile or so of actual hiking.  After the hike we joined GiGi for a picnic at the base of the canyon.
