On the road to Acoma.
It is a sandstone butte 430 feet high, 400 feet wide and 1,250 feet long. The massive outcrop is comprised of Zuni Sandstone,
topped by a harder layer of Dakota Sandstone that prevents the top from eroding away.
The butte is known as Kadzima or Enchanted Mesa because of its towering presence above the plains.
Legend has it that this was the original pueblo of the local population but a major rain storm washed away its access and as a result they relocated at Acoma.
