According to legend, in the 1870s, a small group of Apache warriors met the American Cavalry in a battle. They realized that they were outnumbered, and instead of conceding defeat and being captured and murdered, they decided to take their own lives and plunged off the side of a mountain to their deaths. When the wives and children of these warriors heard this story, they felt immense grief and as they cried, their tears hit the ground and turned to stones in the places where their warriors rest.
