旅游新墨西哥州卡莎-卡图威帐篷岩国家纪念地 |

美国新墨西哥州 Pueblo De
Cochiti

虽然这些岩石形成的形状基本相同,但是高度不一,从几英尺到90英尺不等。

卡莎-卡图威帐篷岩国家纪念地位于圣塔菲以南约35英里,成立于2001年,由美国土地管理局管辖。

Kasha-Katuwe 是印第安 Keresan 語,白色峭壁 (White Cliff) 的意思,在這個歷史遺跡區裡面,有一片片像白色帳篷的岩石矗立著,是六七百萬年前因為火山噴發而形成的,遠看真的很像一座座印第安人帳篷矗立在高原上,是巧合還是人類受大自然啟發而造物。
在這裡已經可以遙望到帳篷石群,人類的力量永遠勝不過大自然,人類可以造長城、巨石陣、金字塔,那這片石群,需要花多久時間? 光是那一頂頂尖尖的小帽子,就不知道要磨多久了,這就是天工啊,難怪這裡也是觀察地質學的熱門點之一!
离开圣塔菲由I-25在264号出口转上SR16,然后右转接SR22,差不多1小时即可抵达卡莎-卡图威帐篷岩国家纪念地。从大门继续行驶约5英里,即到此行徒步的停车场。纪念地的两条徒步路线:Cave
Loop Trail和Slot Canyon Tail都位于此。

基本上,都不是很難走,時間充足可以走上去看看不同風景,注意看看四周,說不定會發現小小圓圓的火山玻璃喔(Volcanic
Glass,學名叫黑曜石Obsidian ),不過,你知道的~ 保護區的一切請留在原地。

來這裡請自己攜帶飲用水,這裡畢竟還是原始,雖然有公廁,但卻遍尋不著水龍頭,可能水源難尋吧!
纪念地门票:5美金/私人车辆所有乘客;国家公园年票持有者全车免费。
Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, located 40 miles southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico (near Cochiti), is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) managed site that was established as a U.S. National Monument by President Bill Clinton in January 2001 shortly before leaving office. Kasha-Katuwe means "white cliffs" in the Pueblo language Keresan.
The area owes its remarkable geology to layers of volcanic rock and ash deposited by pyroclastic flow from a volcanic explosion within the Jemez Volcanic Field that occurred 6 to 7 million years ago. Over time, weathering and erosion of these layers has created canyons and tent rocks. The tent rocks themselves are cones of soft pumice and tuff beneath harder caprocks, and vary in height from a few feet to 90 feet.
The monument is open for day use only and may be closed by order
