Review:

Pecos National Historic Park stretches for more than 6,600 acres throughout Santa Fe and San Miguel Counties, located less than half an hour drive from downtown Santa Fe. The park protects the intact ruins of its namesake indigenous Pueblo village, which was home to more than 2,000 citizens at the peak of its occupancy in the mid-13th century. Visitors can view the ruins along a mile-and-a-half self-guided interpretive trail, which also provides access to the 17th-century Spanish Catholic Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula de los Pecos. Other sites showcased at the park include the Glorieta Pass Battlefield, the early-20th-century Forked Lightning Ranch, and several preserved portions of the Old Santa Fe Trail.
