The Old Pass site is about a mile west of the current pass on I-25. After cresting the ridge, the route headed west about a mile before dropping into the valley that leads to Raton.

Cimarron is home to many historical sites, the Aztec Mill being the most prominent. Built in 1864 by Lucien Maxwell, it is now a seasonal museum. The St James Hotel, built in 1872, still proudly displays the bullet holes in the old saloon.

Rayado, some 15 miles south of Cimarron, was settled by Kit Carson and Lucien Maxwell as early as 1848. The Philmont Boy Scout Camp maintains the old buildings, performing reenactments during the summer

Emery Gap, east of Raton, was the pass used by the Military Route in route to Fort Union. The terrain was much easier to negotiate, though there were dry stretches to the route.

Sweetwater Camp, with its lush meadows, rests on the north side of the Ocate Crossing. The camp became one of the ranches to provide grain and feed to Fort Union.

Fort Union, established in 1851, provided protection for the travelers crossing the more dangerous Cimarron Route. The fort also was a great boon to the small Spanish communities, who supplied many of the forts needs.

Las Vegas became the Port of Entry for Mexico in 1840 and vital way station along the trail. Hermits Peak was named for Giovanni Maria Augustini who lived alone on the peak for three years.

Tecolote, established in 1824 by Spanish settlers from San Miguel, became a noted stop along the trail. By the late 1870's, that reputation was for thievery. The stone "vado" or crossing is still visible just south of the chapel.

San Miguel, once the Port of Entry for Mexico, is now a sleepy village a few miles south of I-25. The chapel still stands as it did when it was built in 1804.

Pecos Missionwas fist built in 1725 next to the thriving pueblo of Cicuye, home to Montezuma's fire which was kept burning until 1838, when disease decimated the pueblo

Apache Chapel is nestled in a narrow mountain gap before the trail made its way to Santa Fe. The area was the site for two decisive battles, deciding the fate for New Mexico.

The Governor's Palace was the Spanish seat of government, and, briefly, the seat of power for the pueblo Indians after the 1680 revolt.
