The Santa Fe Trail traverses the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, primarily through the area of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico. These mountains are part of the larger Rocky Mountain range and provide a dramatic backdrop for the historic trail. The trail itself was a key trade route in the 19th century, connecting Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it navigated various terrains, including mountainous regions.
