TENT ROCKS NATIONAL PARK


A short drive north from Placitas is Tent Rocks National Park – another glorious place to visit here. If you love to hike, you’ll love this area. There are 2 hiking trails – one difficult about 1.9 miles uphill with tight spaces between large rock formations, the other a relatively easy 1.2 miles that loops back to the parking area. We encountered several folks on the trail along the way and many ooh’s and ahh’s were heard during the hike. If you head that way, don’t forget to bring water since there is none available at Tent Rocks. The entrance fee to the park is $5 per car.
