February 5, 2021 Two hundred years ago, the Santa Fe Trail was America’s first international highway. Merchants traveled through what is now Colorado, including Prowers County, to trade goods between the United States and Mexico. Today, organizers of the bicentennial commemoration are encouraging history buffs and more to travel the Santa Fe Trail to relive the past and visit historic sites along the way.
Tourism officials from counties across the Canyons & Plains region of Colorado, as well as the Colorado Tourism Office, are collaborating to commemorate the bicentennial of the Santa Fe Trail this year with plans to continue to further develop tourism around the trail for years to come.
