A Bridge of Sorts--The Santa Fe Trail

 

This is a boardwalk over a remnant of the Santa Fe Trail.  It's located at Pecos National Monument, one of my favorite spots just outside Santa Fe.  I always go there at least once to visit the ruins while visiting this wonderful area.

Much of the land that helped improve the park for visitors was donated by the late actress Greer Garson and her husband.

An Unusual Boardwalk

On February 22 I showed you some statues commemorating the end of the Santa Fe trail on Museum Hill as well as a map. While exploring at Pecos National Historical Park we were able to walk on this boardwalk which covered a remnant of the old original trail.  I can't imagine the hardships these traders and travellers endured so many years ago, but I was thrilled to be able to see this bit of history.
