Massacre cave in Canyon del Muerto is where the Spanish, in Janurary, 1805, killed numerous Navajo women and children trying to hide (the warriors were out on a raid). There bodies are still preserved in the cave. Two of the Spanish soldiers climbed to the cave and a woman grabbed one of them and together they plunged over the cliff. The other soldier returned and for hours the Spanish shot musket balls off of the ceiling of the cave into the crowd killing all by one old man.
