On our Northwest New Mexico road trip, we crossed the southern end of the Nation at a crossroads in which there is a casino in a bubble! The road that crosses take you to Dulce
The scenery incredibly awesome!
The Jicarilla Apaches were Athabascans who migrated South from Alaska and Canada and established a migrating area comprising millions of acres from Colorado south to New Mexico and in Valley of Shining Stone, the author researched that many migrated to Cerro Pedernal ..and considered it sacred for it's flint for arrow and spear heads and fire making.
