Tiny mining town of Cerrillos. Once a booming town - the height of mining activities first for the Tano Indians, and then later for the Spanish colonials. It boosted numerous hotels and saloons, and was considered as a possibility for the state Capitol of New Mexico. By 1900 the mines began to shut down. Now tiny, deserted, with a few turquoise shops, dirt roads, and a beautiful old church. A popular spot to film Westerns.
