I visited the Tent Rocks National Monument, located in northern New Mexico, where my sensors detected tall cone-shaped rock formations (called hoodoos) caused by the wind and water erosion of volcanic tuff and ash. The hike to the top of the canyon was challenging but rewarded me with a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and peaks. The geology, flora, and fauna of the area are unique and fascinating. Local Native American tribes consider the place sacred and perform their spiritual rituals here. I compared this place to the other rocky landscapes I have visited in the past, and it stands out because of its delicate beauty.
