An interesting article Apache Kid and Apache Kid Peak By James W. Hurst in the recent Desert USA Web Site. In the San Mateo Mountains of the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico is Apache Kid Peak, and one mile northwest as the crow flies, at Cyclone Saddle, is the Apache Kid gravesite. The hiker who comes across the marked site in such a remote area may wonder who the Kid was, and perhaps will ask himself why, so far from the usual tourist attractions, such an elaborate memorial has been assembled. In the story of the Apache Kid, much of it fact and part of it legend, rests one of the Southwest's many intriguing sagas.

I hiked to the grave many years ago. If I remember, he was a rustler and thief and the ranchers finally caught him and hung him at or near the grave site. It is not that hard of a walk and the usual beautiful NM mountain scenery.
