This Trailhead provides access to the Companion Trail (19 miles) and the Santa Fe National Historic Trail (23 miles). Interpretative signs provide history of both trails. Accessible horse mounting facilities are available. There is also a restroom and a well with handpump. These trails are for non-motorized travel only, giving visitors opportunities to step back in time and see what "travelling the trail" may have been like.
