Quick trip to Taos New Mexico to hike Tent Rocks National Monument. Hiking in the searing heat, what were we thinking? This was a rather spur of the moment excursion on a Friday night after work and hit I-25. We stayed in historic Taos arriving well after dark. The only goal on this journey was hiking at Tent Rocks. Beautiful scenery! The slot canyons were pretty fantastic too. There were a fair amount of people this time. Our previous visit was back in February 2013. Winter is definitely the best time to go for sure - cooler and less people. We saw a lot of people hiking without water, how is that possible?
We didn’t get a chance to see The Pueblo. That gives a reason to go back! We didn’t realize that Tent Rocks is a two hour drive from Taos which didn’t leave us much time to explore Taos either. On the way home we stopped at the bridge on the Rio Grande River. While crossing the bridge on foot I spotted some, what looked like sheep. Are those fake? You know, like some kind of artistic sculpture? It is Taos after all, could be art. No, there were real Big Horn Sheep enjoying the morning sun. Sweet!!
