View Landmarks along the Santa Fe Trail

Santa Fe National Historic Trail

There has been a lot of change since the mid 1800's. Landmarks are an opportunity to view the trail similar to the way the traders did. Some landmarks may sit in their original viewshed, giving you a real experience of stepping back to the trail days. Other landmarks may be surrounded by the 21st century and provide a chance to think about how things have changed in 200 years.

Landmarks Campsites, springs, and geology served as visual markers and needed stops along the trail.
