Wagon Mound - A Trail to Santa Fe (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
In the 1860s travelers on the Santa Fe Trail, coming from the war torn eastern United States, were looking for a new beginning in the West. After crossing the Raton Pass, they saw in the distance a large volcanic rock that looked like a Conestoga wagon. As they drew near the rock they noticed the lush green grass and abundant water supply in the area. Travelers came up with the name Wagon Mound for the region and it became a rest stop for people along the Santa Fe Trail. Today, Wagon Mound is known as the greatest of the many landmarks on the Santa Fe Trail.
