Montaña Peak Area Descanso with Cow

Ramon Redondo

Born in 1899, possibly the original descanso was created 1934.

Painted silver over wrought iron. The name is pounded into the metal using what looks like a metal punch, creating outline for the letters.

On an old curving road, the cattle roam free. This descanso is nested under a tree. This area is very close to the border with Mexico. It is very curvy, and doesn't really go anywhere except grazing country for the cattle.
