Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the larger Santa Fe Trail GeoTour: santafetrail.org/geocaching 

To locate this cache, park in parking lot and make a short hike across natural vegetation to locate it.  There will be some light overgrowth and some slight elevation changes.  See additional waypoints.


Be sure to visit www.santafetrail.org/geocaching to learn about the PASSPORT ACTIVITY to accompany this Geo Tour. Containers on the Santa Fe National Historic Trail Geo Tour are military ammunition canisters, or Brochure-Holder boxes, with an identifying Santa Fe Trail Association yellow sticker on the top of the box, under the handle and the dark green geocaching.com ID is on the side of the boxes with the information that provides coordinates, who set the cache and who to contact for information. Some caches will have a large "Bison-brand" cylinder.  Each cache contains a logbook to sign, a variety of items that provide information about the Santa Fe Trail as well as swag items.  If you are participating in the Passport activity, the code word is located on the inside of the box, on the top of the lid and is clearly identified as Code Word.  Permission to set caches has been obtained.  We ask that all cachers please respect all property at the sites where our caches are set.  

The Journey’s End monument was a collaborative artwork installed in 2002 by sculpture Reynaldo “Sonny” Rivera and landscape architect Richard Borkovetz. The monument portrays the lead wagon of a typical Santa Fe Trail caravan as it makes its final approach into Santa Fe.

There are several museums located in this area known as “Museum Hill”.  They include the Museum of International Folk Art; the Museum of Indian Arts and Cluture; the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian and the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art.
