Description
At 9,862 feet in elevation, Cerro Pedernal can be seen from many points around Northern New Mexico. Pedernal means "flint" in Spanish and has been a great source for agate for a long time. Native Americans during the Pueblo Period used the stone to fashion knives, scrappers, arrowheads and spear points.The butte is a well know landmark on the north side of the Jemez mountains in the Abiquiu area. It gained further notoriety when Geogia O'Keefe displayed it in many of her paintings. The four mile hike to the top is a popular adventure for a 360 degree view.
