We visited Tent Rocks National Monument in September 2009.
We knew
that there were some unique sandstone formations and a slot canyon to walk through.
What we didn't know was that the hike though the slot canyon was going to be
one of our all time top 5 favorite hikes!
Above is a shot of Paul as we entered the slot canyon
The winding canyon trail and highly visible sandstone layering is awesome!
Here's Debbie at one of the rocky areas of the slot trail.
Paul checking out the layers of sandstone
The trail is darn narrow in places! Sometimes the width of a hiking boot.
These are some of the "Tents" in the area, just outside of the slot canyon trail.
The shot above was taken just after walking through the slot canyon. The massive Tent shapes are certainly the focal point of the area!
