Cerro Pedernal, Mountain summit in northern New Mexico, United States.
Cerro Pedernal stands as a flat-topped butte reaching 9,862 feet above sea level, with volcanic formations creating steep cliffs around its perimeter.
Native Gallina Puebloans gathered flint stones from the mountain slopes to manufacture essential tools, including arrowheads and knives during the 14th century.
The mountain's silhouette appears repeatedly in paintings by artist Georgia O'Keeffe, who lived nearby and considered this location her personal source of inspiration.
The ascent requires Class 3 climbing skills and follows a 7-mile round trip trail from Temolime Canyon, gaining 1,882 feet in elevation.
The summit provides views extending to Colorado peaks, Lake Abiquiu, and the Jemez Mountains, with O'Keeffe's ashes scattered at its highest point.
