This black volcanic escarpment is one of New Mexico's most important landmarks. Its descent, or bajada, marked the traditional division between New Mexico's upper, Rio Arriba, and lower, Rio Abajo, districts. Over the centuries, several trails and roads were developed to overcome this difficult obstacle along the Camino Real.
