I have wanted to go to Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument since watching this Less Junk More Journey video. We also took their advice and stayed at Cochiti Lake Campground (An Army Corps Campground).
We went right after setting up our site since it was so close to our campground. We decided to not do the whole hike that day but planned on coming back to go to the top.
Only the main hike was open when we went but it was a very interesting hike. This was our turnaround spot for that day. They are redoing a lot of the campground so that the showers and bathrooms are really nice in some areas but closed or rundown in others.

Our spot was beautiful but it was in the area with closed bathrooms.

Which was unfortunate since I really wanted a shower.

Ha

Also, there was a mixup so we had to move to a different spot after the first night.

We drove down to a different bathhouse so I still thankfully got a shower 😉

The sunsets from our spot were beautiful.

The boys hang out outside a lot. Our second spot was right next to the first and had an even better sunset view. We went on our second hike at Tent Rocks on a Sunday Morning right after it opened. This time we were prepared to hike to the top. The kids brought snacks for the top and water. It is a pretty steep climb but worth it for the view. So breathtaking. With our National Park Pass the campground was 50% off so it was only $10 a night for water and electric!

We were at this campground for four nights so we did a lot of other stuff in the area as well!

I will share what we did in Las Alamos and Santa Fe next!
