ON LOCATION 8 I B L A C K M E S A , N E W M E X I C O Just north of Santa Fe, in the Espanola Valley, the San Ildefonso Pueblo guards the base of Black Mesa. Standing alone in the middle of the high desert in northern Santa Fe County is a mountain with a flat table-top summit. One of the eight northern pueblos, the tribe is part of the Tewas. In 1985, the movie Silverado, starring Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, John Cleese, Danny Glover and Scott Glenn was filmed with the mesa in the background. The Black Mesa summit has an elevation of about 4000 feet. It is most noticeable as a stand-alone feature in the middle of the high desert about 20 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is closed to hikers, isolating it even further from intrusion to this sacred space. 38
