Cochiti Lake - Tent Rocks

Cochiti Lake, between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, is formed behind a large Corp of Engineers dam on the Rio Grande River. Nearby Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument is home to cone-shaped rock formations that are products of volcanic eruptions that occurred 6 to 7 million years ago. We enjoyed the Monument and also the Corp Of Engineers campground overlooking the lake. We had a beautiful site and the price is right - just $6/night with our National Parks pass.
