It is well worth the time of the New Mexi-
can tourist to make a trip to the famous silver
mines of Alhambra camp, probably better
known to many by its earlier name Black Hawk.
While the road over the hills from Whitehill’s
well, in the Mangas valley, is shorter and in
better repair, yet the grandeur of the scenery
through Saddle Rock canyon amply repays one
for the extra five miles of travel by the latter
route. The canyon takes its name from the
massive granite mountain situated near its
mouth, and about half a mile from where the
canyon emerges into the Mangas valley. The
summit of this isolated mountain is an exact
facsimile of a McClellan saddle seat, and as
you approach, imagination forces the expecta-
tion that the base of the monster monolith will
prove a stony centaur, upon which the riderless
saddle rests.
