Notoriety - National Historic Trail


On Dec. 4, 2003, President George W. Bush signed S-1946 - The Old Spanish Trail Recognition Act, into law. The bill officially designates the trail as a National Historic Trail, putting it among only 20 trails that have received national recognition by Congress since 1968.

It will now receive notoriety like other historic trails such as:

The Old Spanish Trail is possibly the oldest trail in The American West. Dating as far back as 1598, documentation of expeditions by Spanish traders shows they used the routes to exchange goods, horses, mules and slaves.
Mexican and American traders between 1821 and 1830 used The Old Spanish Trail through six states: New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California to complete their journeys.

The Old Spanish Trail consists of more than 3,500 winding miles of pack mule routes. One of the most well known routes links the former outposts, Villa Real de Sante Fe de San Francisco, now known as Santa Fe, and El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles, present day Los Angeles, California. Originally carved over thousands of years by Utes, Paiutes, Comanches, and Navajo, the routes were also traveled by Spaniards, Mexicans, and Anglo settlers.
