Cliffs of great heights usually mean caves. This one would be hidden or covered, a trick learned from the whites. But what wealth? What could they have had? Find the treasure and you answer that question. I'm too old, too far away and probaly wrong anyway. But while you're out hunting, check it out. You have as much experience as anybody and more smarts than most. Give it a shot...

thinking Indians, they may have meant
Game, fish, water, minerals for making Tools & weapons ,
even ground for planting.

could also have been a real estate agents scam story.
however , for someone from the area.
probably best to keep your mind and eyes open

Yep I am thinking natural resources was the wealth also.

This same legend was told to my great grandfather by an Indian when my great grandfather bought land in a certain valley. I have cause to believe it is genuine, and I believe the Spanish/Jesuits/Franciscans had everything to do with it. The problem is that the state bought up most of the mountains, at least in my parts. And that's a BIG problem.
