Tent Rocks closures OK’d

In keeping with the administration’s priorities of being good neighbors and respecting the ties that native and traditional communities have to public lands, the Bureau of Land Management is announcing that the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument will be closed on Friday, Saturday and July 25. This closure allows for Pueblo de Cochiti cultural observances and routine BLM maintenance.

The BLM manages the monument in close cooperation with the pueblo, which requested the closure. The monument is closed 12 days throughout the year: Jan. 6, the Friday before Easter, Easter Sunday, the Monday after Easter, May 3, July 13-14, July 25, Nov. 1, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.
