Snow at Slot CanyonALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument has closed the Slot Canyon Trail due to heavy snow in the area which has created unsafe hiking conditions. Freeze and thaw in this area can lead to falling rocks and unstable hiking tread. The Veteran’s Memorial Overlook will also be closed until the road is passable.

For other hiking opportunities in the area, please contact BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Jamie Garcia at 505-761-8787.
