Old Spanish National Historic Trail is an old trading route that extends from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Los Angeles, California. This historic trail spans across six different states that include New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. The trail is a combination of mule and horse routes, early exploration and trade routes, and indigenous footpaths that created a trail network known as the “Old Spanish Trail.” The portion of trail that runs through Utah offers incredible opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, camping, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Along the trail visitors will enjoy breathtaking views of Utah’s rugged and stunning backcountry.
