After a four-year closure, the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument will reopen later this month with Cochiti Pueblo in charge of day-to-day operations, the pueblo and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced Thursday.

When the monument reopens Nov. 21, other changes will include higher fees and mandatory pre-registration with both the BLM and Cochiti Pueblo to visit the site, which is known for its striking geologic features that can be accessed only by crossing tribal land.

The monument, located southwest of ·è¿ÍÖ±²¥ Fe on the Pajarito Plateau near Cochiti Lake, was established in 2001 with the understanding that BLM and the pueblo would work closely together to manage the site.
