Send to a Friend Bookmark It Review It Ask a Question

This trail parallels the Santa Fe National Historic Trail, which served as a primary trade route between Franklin, MO and Santa Fe, NM during the mid-1800’s. The companion trail closely follows the existing remnants of the Santa Fe Trail, and consists of a grassy trace across the prairie. Sagebrush and cacti have been removed to make the trail sufficiently evident to the hiker without noticeably altering the prairie vistas.
