About this attraction

23 miles of historic Santa Fe Trail crosses the 108,000 acres of the Cimarron National Grassland. Today you can still see ruts and the site where freight wagons camped at Middle Spring and used Point of Rocks as lookout point from 1821-1880. Point of Rocks is just one of the many stops in the Grassland that will take your breath away. Bring a tent for some overnight fishing. Tours can be arranged or the adventurous can don hiking boots and head out on their own and experience nature at its finest. Self-tour booklets and more information can be obtained through the Grassland's website or their local office located in Elkhart.
