The Story
William Becknell, considered by many to be the father of the Santa Fe Trail, first traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico, with packhorses along a mountainous route in 1821. On his return from Santa Fe, he cut across the Cimarron Desert, which shortened travel by over 100 miles.

When Becknell decided to make a second journey to Santa Fe, he chose only to take the route through the Cimarron Desert. What would become known as the Cimarron Route of the Santa Fe Trail was important because it allowed for travel by wagons instead of packhorses, as the mountain trail wasn't wide enough for wagons.

Today, this is a modern view of the landscape one would see while crossing the Cimarron Desert near Clayton, New Mexico.
