Chicoma Mountain (Tsikumu Pʼin) is the highest point in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. It is sacred to many Puebloan peoples, who traditionally regarded it as the center of all. The mountain lies on the northeast rim of the Valles Caldera and is of volcanic origin. Much of it is within Santa Clara Pueblo territory, limiting access.
