    u.l. printed: The name Mesa Encantada arises from an old \ legend or tradition. Centuries ago the people of \ what is now Acoma dwelt upon the summit of the \ Mesa, to which a single trail led. A part of the \ cliff over which the trail led was undermined thru \ erosion and fell when every one except a few old \ and sick women were at work in the fields below. \ After that the present site was built upon, and the \ mesa in time came to be regarded as "encantada" \ or as we would say haunted.
