Enchanted Mesa, Sandstone butte in Cibola County, New Mexico
Rising 430 feet from the desert floor, Enchanted Mesa extends 1,250 feet in length with 400 feet width at its broadest section.
The Acoma people inhabited the mesa's summit until a severe storm destroyed their only access route, forcing them to permanently relocate.
Known as Katzimo in Keresan language, the mesa holds deep spiritual importance for the Acoma tribe through generations of ceremonies and traditions.
Visitors need permits from the Acoma Pueblo authorities to access the area, and should bring water supplies due to the remote desert location.
Archaeological excavations revealed ancient artifacts including arrow points, stone tools, and pottery fragments lodged within the mesa's crevices.
