The mountain range seen along the east bank of the Rio Grande is named after Father Cristobal de Slazar of the 1598 Juan de Oñate expedition. An encampment at the northern edge of the mountain, whose profile is said to resemble that of the good friar, was a place of rest for caravans on the Camino Real.
