San Antonio Mountain

San Antonio Mountain is a free-standing volcanic peak in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. With an elevation of 10,908 feet, San Antonio Mountain is the highest peak within the Taos Plateau volcanic field, the largest volcanic field within the Rio Grande Rift valley. The mountain lies just outside a northwest boundary of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. It lies within the Carson National Forest and is administered by the U.S. Forest Service rather than the Bureau of Land Management. It is called Kay Pʼin (pronounced [kèː pʼìŋ], lit. 'bear mountain') by Tewa-speaking peoples in the Rio Grande valley, and is known as the mountain of the north in their cosmology.
