Acomilla: The Camino Real wound its way below the black basaltic buttes of San Acacia, seen to the southeast.   Named Acomilla, or Acomita (little Acoma) by the Spanish, these buttes form the walls of a narrow passage for the Rio Grande, along which hostile Apache frequently waited in ambush.  Travelers had to organize into well-armed caravans to assure their safety along this section of the Camino Real.
