The Civilian Conservation Corps built this cabin in the 1930s as part of a program to construct and restore national parks. The mystery surrounding the identity of Juan Tabo adds intrigue to the story. Throughout Albuquerque, you'll find streets, businesses, and churches named after him, yet his true identity remains elusive. Some believe he was a priest who lived nearby, while others suggest he was a shepherd who grazed his flock in the vicinity.
