Route 66, or the famed Mother Road, came through the city of Santa Fe between 1926 and 1937. Take a ride from the heart of Santa Fe towards La Bajada Hill. The Pre-1937 Historic Route 66 brought travelers along the Old Santa Fe Trail to Santa Fe. It passed the San Miguel Chapel and the Loretto Chapel, crossed the Santa Fe River, and then turned west on Water Street. The original Route 66 headed south at Galisteo Street and Cerrillos Street before following the Camino Real out to La Bajada Hill.
Once out on the dirt trails beyond the city, you will have the opportunity to see some of the signage for the Mother Road and enjoy the expansive views. On the way back, we will add another layer to this historic route and show you petroglyphs that the Ancient Puebloans left on the area’s basalt rocks. This is a classic road trip that allows you to learn about New Mexico’s rich history and, of course, experience an iconic scenic byway.
