Geronimo’s Cave
A prominent warrior of the Bedonkohe band of the Apache people, Geronimo clashed with and evaded Mexican and US troops many times throughout the course of the Apache Wars. During one such escape, Geronimo is believed to have entered a cave in the Robledo Mountains to elude US troops.
Though US soldiers waited outside of the entrance, he never resurfaced. He was later spotted outside of the cave, but a second entrance was never found. Today, this cave is referred to as Geronimo’s Cave. Today, visitors to the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument can visit Geronimo’s Cave via a 2.5-mile (4 km) trail.
