Jornada del Muerto Overview
The Jornada del Muerto was a desolate 90-mile stretch on El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (Royal Road of the Interior). On this part of the historic route, no water or forage was available to trail travelers. Outdoor exhibits tell the story of Jornada del Muerto at Point of Rocks and Yost Escarpment.
