Presbyterian Canyon RESBYTERIAN CANYON, though just off the Border Highway, retains the air of seclusion and wild beauty of the days when it overlooked the old Indian trail, winding through Paisano Pass and skirting Lover’s Rock and Kokernot Springs on its long way from Presidio across the Big Bend. But if be¬ hind those boulders, lighted frequently now by the bonfires of college students, Indian braves long ago danced their ceremonial dances, the canyon has not betrayed their secrets. Only its neighbors, Lover’s Rock across a little stream to the south, and Breakfast Nook, a wood-circled space a quarter of a mile to the west, have yielded up their evidence of Indian habitation. At Lover’s Rock wagon trains of provisions and gold en route from Presidio to Fort Stockton encountered attacking Apaches, who dropped an occasional arrow head along the route. And Break¬ fast Nook, with its adjacent water hole, was once, as numerous recently discovered molinos, or hand mills, testify, an Indian camp site. A canyon that looked down on stern councils of war and bloody frays might well regard as ironic the names — “Lover’s Rock”, “Breakfast Nook”, and “Presbyterian Canyon” — bestowed by picnickers, in these uneventful days, on places that once probably bore the more picturesque Indian names, with their connotation of high romance or grim fate. But the imperturbable walls of the canyon reflect neither scorn nor amused tolerance. Rugged, impassive as the face of an Indian chief, they look out upon the automobiles speeding along the highway.
