Review:

The Pecos National Historical Park protects and showcases the history of centuries of occupation by Native Americans and Spanish colonists and was the site of the 1862 Civil War Battle of Glorieta Pass.

You can visit the E.E. Vogelson visitors center to watch a 10-minute orientation film and get information about the park before you set off to learn and explore.

You can choose from several guided tours that include the Sunday 90-minute Forked Lightning Ranch House van tour, the Saturday 2-hour Civil War in the West tour and regular weekend ranger-guided walking tours of the ancestral sites. You can also pick up a map and do your own self-guided tours.
