The Sierra Ladrones are a small mountain range in New Mexico, located west of the Rio Grande between Albuquerque and Socorro. The name means mountain of thieves. Supposedly, back in the days of the Spanish Crown, a pair of large solid gold candlesticks were sent from Mexico City to the archdiocese of Santa Fe. The caravan was waylaid and the bandits hid their loot on Ladrone peak but died before they could return for it. Do they actually exist? Who knows?
