Sites of the Battle of Glorieta Pass include Johnson's Ranch, Pigeon's Ranch, Camp Lewis, Kozlowski's stage stop on the Santa Fe Trail, Windmill Hill and Apache Canyon. There are two ways visitors may gain a firsthand view of many areas of the battle: one is to walk the Glorieta Battlefield Trail (come to the Visitor Center first for access) and another is to reserve a spot (call 505-757-7241) on a ranger-led van tour of the sites.

Pecos National Historical Park is one of the 70 sites that provides opportunities to tour locations where the Civil War occurred 150 years ago.

You might also want to take a look at the National Park Service Sesquicentennial Commemoration The Civil War: 150 Years website for information about history, events, and educational plans regarding the 150th anniversary of the war.

As for the Santa Fe Trail, during summer hours (Memorial Day through Labor Day) we offer an hour-long tour of trail ruts and the storied structure known as Kozlowski's stage stop and trading post. The ranger will provide visitors with a map of the trail variations over its 60-year history, as well as an overview of the determination and fortitude a trip on the trail required from the merchants, adventurers, journalists, naturalists, traders, trappers, and all who traveled it.
