Early History
The path has a long extensive history of being treacherous. Due to the steep and dangerous route, many animals ended up with injuries. Humans that traveled by wagons often had their wagons compromised with broken axles. Due to these hardships, travelers typically attempted to avoid the pass altogether. The Raton Pass National Historic Landmark celebrates the development of American trade, cultural interaction, and westward expansion.
