The Route Followed by Spanish Settlers of San Francisco

This is a new little spot that represents the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail here in Tucson, AZ.

This is called Anza Trail Cultural History Park near the Death and Blind school.  This is where the Juan Bautista de Anza Trail and Santa Cruz River connect.

This is just a little area where they have a walkway or a bikeway along the Santa Cruz River.  They do have little signs that have different items that are represented during the time.  There are a couple of areas to sit.

A Frontier Fort for an Expanding Country

 

10/4/2024, my dad and I went to Fort Union in New Mexico.  This was a quick stop.  We got there about half hour before it closed.  We didn't get to walk around that much.  Me in front of the sign, dad on the trail to the fort and me setting on a bench.

The Great Prairie Highway

10/4/2024, I was visiting my dad in New Mexico.  Some of the parks we went to were part of the Santa Fe NHT.

Traders witnessed a lived-in-pueblo to later seeing crumbling remains of the Peco Pueblo.  Near Pecos there was Pigeon's Ranch and there was a stage stop for visitors and traders.

Fort Union was also a stage stop for the Santa Fe Trail.  Where soldiers would stop there.
