Abiquiu pedernal
The Pedernal " changing woman mountain" beckons from the distant, shrouded in mystery holding sway over her great lands to the sea and beyond, she thrusts her crown to the sky and tells of the mystery unfolding.
Cerro Pedernal, locally known as just "Pedernal", is a narrow mesa in northern New Mexico. The name is Spanish for "flint hill". The mesa lies on the north flank of the Jemez Mountains, south of Abiquiu Lake, in the Coyote Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest. Its caprock was produced in the Jemez Volcanic Field. Its highest point is 9,862 feet (3,006 meters).
Pedernal is the source of a chert used by the prehistoric Gallina people. Its cliffs are popular with rock climbers. Georgia O'Keeffe made many paintings of it, and her ashes were scattered on its top.
We offer two different adventures with AbiQRox.
1. Sunrise Hike to the Pedernal Mesa.

Patrick brady: Your Tour Guide
Patrick Brady
He speaks slowly,
deliberately
He who knows both the power and
the weakness of words.
The bard rambles the land all the day,
caring for it
And courts the wild God who feeds
him verses from a crocus,
and fills his veins
with hot blood
At night he tends to the children
And to art
And the soul
I have met the bard in the high
desert
Shining the shadows
Telling the tales with more than a glint
Of starlight
Beaming from his eyes
I have heard the land answer
Slyly confessing its own role
In filing the hollow
bone with God.
