Just what is the Spanish Trail? Between 1838 and 1849 a trail from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Los Angeles became heavily traveled by traders and others who wished to go West.
The trail curves north from Santa Fe into Utah. Travelers had to avoid a more Southern route because of hostile Indian tribes.
People from New Mexico brought wool west to California to trade for horses. Then they went back east to sell the horses in Santa Fe.
In the 1840s, the Mormons used the trail, establishing it as a major wagon route so that they could move back and forth from Utah settlements to California.
