We Took a Camper to the Edge of the Llano del Albuquerque… The Sunset Left Us Speechless 🌄🔥

Sunset at the Southern Point of the Llano del Albuquerque: A Camper’s Perfect Evening**

Last night, we took one of our campers on a little off-grid adventure—straight to the **most southern point of the Llano del Albuquerque** to watch the sunset. Out here, sunsets don’t just happen… they *perform*.

As the sky shifted from gold to fire-orange to soft desert pink, we were reminded why moments like these are the heart of what we do at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**. Sometimes the best part of camping isn’t the campsite at all—it’s the connections, the stories, and the chance to share the kind of beauty you can’t find in a city skyline.

Our camper stood there in awe, and honestly? So did we. The Llano del Albuquerque stretched out like a painted canvas, the desert quiet enough to hear the world breathe.

Whether you’re here for stargazing, music nights, or peaceful desert sunsets, we love getting to show visitors the magic tucked into every corner of **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**. And that southern point sunset? Definitely one of those magical places.

Here’s to more views, more adventures, and more sunsets shared with our incredible campers.

The Secret Spirit of Ladrón Peak 🌄 | The Lady of the Mountain Prayer Mystery

The Lady of the Mountain: Ladrón Peak & a Prayer at Ka-Hoon

A few years back, during one of our events at **Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center**, a woman from a local Indigenous tribe blessed us with a prayer. She spoke to **“the Lady of the Mountain,”** honoring **Ladrón Peak** in her words. I regret not grasping the full legend then, but it’s held with me ever since — a reminder of spirits, respect, and stories rooted in the land.

I believe every belief system deserves respect. For me, there’s no “wrong” faith when it uplifts, heals, and connects us to the land. I tried searching for details of that prayer and the legend behind the “Lady of the Mountain,” but came up short.

Here’s what I found so far on Ladrón Peak, and some leads I hope someone reading this might help fill in:

* Ladrón Peak is in **Socorro County, New Mexico**, part of the **Sierra Ladrones** range. ([Wikipedia][1])
* Its name “Ladrón” means “thief.” The Sierra Ladrones were reportedly used as hideouts by raiding parties and rustlers over time, giving the range its name. ([Wikipedia][1])
* The peak is geologically an **igneous intrusion** of **Precambrian granite** — not a volcano — and rises sharply above the valley below. ([Wikipedia][1])
* In local folklore and treasure-tales, Ladrón Peak is associated with hidden treasures, “bad magic,” and spirit guarding. For example, one story involves a curandera marking a “X” on the peak, warning that evil spirits guard treasure beneath a boulder struck by lightning. ([Chronicles][2])

I would love to hear your versions: has anyone in your family or tribe ever shared a version of the “Lady of the Mountain” prayer or a related story tied to Ladrón? If you’ve heard details, please reach out — we’d be honored to record and share them (with permission).

Until then, when you look toward Ladrón from our land, know that people have walked here for millennia, seeing more than just rock and sky — seeing spirits, stories, and memory.

The Desert Comes Alive 🌵✨ Inspiring Nights at Ka-Hoon Campground You Have to See!

Finding Inspiration at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

**“Out here in the desert, the silence becomes music, the stars become light, and every night is a story waiting to be written.”**

At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, inspiration is found in every direction. Nestled on the West Mesa of New Mexico, our campground offers more than just a place to stay—it offers an escape from the noise of everyday life and a chance to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with others who share the same love for the desert sky.

## Why the Desert Inspires

The desert holds a unique kind of magic. The wide-open spaces create room for reflection, while the endless horizon reminds us that there’s always more to explore. At night, the stars blanket the sky, brighter than most people have ever seen. It’s in these moments—when the world slows down—that inspiration flows freely.

Ka-Hoon Campground is more than a destination—it’s a gathering place. From **live music nights** with Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band, to **karaoke, talent shows, and seasonal celebrations**, every event is crafted to bring people together. Campers find joy not just in the activities, but in the sense of belonging that grows around the campfire.

## Events that Spark the Spirit

Although we will **not be hosting the Hootenanny this year due to health reasons**, Ka-Hoon remains a space where creativity and community thrive. Our calendar still includes music, gatherings, and special camping experiences that keep the spirit of celebration alive.

## Escape, Relax, and Be Inspired

In today’s fast-paced world, finding stillness is rare. Ka-Hoon Campground offers that stillness—whether you’re camping under the stars, joining in laughter during karaoke, or simply watching the desert sunset paint the horizon.

Every visit is more than just a getaway; it’s a chance to find a little piece of yourself again.
