Santa Fe Trail – All Roads Lead Home

At the heart of America, Lamar, Colorado sits resolutely on the Santa Fe Trail, a cross roads of sorts that brings all to the heartland. Did you ever wonder where you could go that literally brings all roads home? The Santa Fe Trail offers more than simply a trail upon which cattle were driven, wagons wound their way through vast grasslands to travel the trail westward home. From St.Louis Missouri to Santa Fe New Mexico, the Santa Fe Trail rolls across grass lands and prairie, mountain and hillside, leaving trenches where wagon wheels trod. The Chisholm Trail crosses somewhere near Lamar Colorado – from south Texas where cattle met the railroad and traveled east to feed the mass multitudes of people. No matter where you are in the United States, the bottom line is – Lamar, Colorado, where All Roads and Back Roads – they all lead home.
