A Day on the Ranch Palace Guard Event

This day trip will include visits to two working New Mexico ranches, both of which are on the National Register. One has a showcase historic hacienda of nineteen preserved and beautifully maintained rooms. We will lunch on the hacienda’s portal and view the confluence of the Pecos and Gallinas rivers, where the Navajos on the Long Walk turned south toward their Bosque Redondo destination. We will also visit the ruins of a comanchero trading post which became known as Fort Hatch, an important supplier of beef to Fort Union. In addition, we’ll view how nature has significantly altered a mile long stretch of the Santa Fe Trail, and view an interesting antique automobile collection.
