Slot Canyon Trail
The signature hike at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument: 1.5 miles out and back through a narrow slot canyon between cone-shaped tent rock formations, climbing to a mesa-top viewpoint. The slot narrows to shoulder width — it is a drainage, and it floods from storms far upstream.
