Santa Fe Trail's 200 years of travel

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal
PUERTOCITO DE LA PIEDRA LUMBRE – That’s a lot of name for a next-to-nothing place on N.M. 283 just west of I-25 and south of Las Vegas.
But according to the historical markers here, there’s more to it than is apparent. This is where the storied Santa Fe Trail, a major commercial road running about 900 miles from Missouri to New Mexico, was born nearly 200 years ago.
Visitors to Fort Union National Monument, near Watrous, see the remnants of fort walls and ruts made by wagon traffic on the Santa Fe Trail. Fort Union was established in 1851 near the junction of the trail’s Mountain and Cimarron cutoff routes. (Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal)

On the Santa Fe Trail: 1821-2021 - True West Magazine

On the Santa Fe Trail: 1821-2021
The bicentennial of the National Historic Trail is a great reason to hit the road and rediscover why it is the West’s original “Mother Road.”
When you get right down to it, almost every trail ever blazed was for profit. Despite all the glory associated with them, the lure of money was behind the Chisholm Trail (first for trade goods, then for selling longhorns in Kansas)and the California and Klondike trails (to find goldfields) and the like. The Santa Fe Trail, on the other hand, never even thought about fame—it was all about money.
