El Camino Real wound its way below the black basaltic buttes of San Acacia, seen to the southeast.
Named Acomilla, or Acomita (little Acoma) by the Spanish, these buttes form the walls of a narrow passage for the Rio Grande, along which hostile Apache frequently waited in ambush.
Travelers had to organize into well-armed caravans to assure their safety along this section of El Camino Real.
We pass this way often as it seems to be our Camino Real as well.
If nothing else you can stop at the rest area and enjoy the great view.
HAPPY..............................WAYMARKING
