The Sacred Mountains

 Within the original aboriginal homeland of the Mescalero Apaches "lies the four sacred mountains: Sierra Blanca, Guadalupe, 3 Sisters Mountain, and Oscura Mountain Peak. These mountains represent the four directions of the universe."-Wendell Chino

Sierra Blanca, White Mountain
(I've even heard it nicknamed 'sinking mountain')

Three Sisters Mountain

Guadalupe Mountain

Oscura Mountain peak is within the White Sands Military base and is located near the "Trinity Site," where the atomic bomb was tested. This means that no one except military personal are allowed in the area of this sacred mountain. 

Mountains are sacred places for the Mescalero Apaches because they are believed to contain healing medicine. The higher you go on a mountain, the better the medicine will be. Their religion was based on these mountains. "Traditional Apache religion was based on the belief in the supernatural and the power of nature. It explained everything."-Wendell Chino
