Pecos National Historical Park
A crossroads of time, just a drive from Santa Fe. Your timeless journey begins here.
Pecos National Historical Park preserves a spectacular tapestry of cultures—from ancestral Pueblo peoples and Spanish missionaries to Civil War soldiers and ranching pioneers. Stand among ancient Pueblo ruins and a 17th‑century mission under wide New Mexico skies. Hike a looping trail through layered history, wander Civil War battlefields, or browse the visitor center’s museum and exhibits—all within an hour’s drive of Santa Fe. Here, the stories of centuries converge in one powerful place.
