Solitude, Reflection & History in the Chihuahuan Desert
Fort Selden Historic Site的点评
点评:Wow--so glad I stopped on a recent afternoon. There's a walking tour that reviews more than 1400 years of history, starting with the Mogollon people (400-1300 AD). The US government established the fort in 1865 to bring peace to a region of conflict and lawlessness.
The visitor center has some fascinating items, including a baby shoe that may have been worn by Douglas MacArthur. Mogollon pottery, soldier uniforms, maps, and other artifacts are displayed.
Adobe preservation is a big part of Fort Selden maintenance. You can make your own adobe bricks for a souvenir. Ask the ranger.
Walk and reflect among the quiet fort ruins and appreciate the desert environment. Take note of the wildlife and plants that call this region of New Mexico home. Bring a picnic--there's a shaded pavillion available. Parasols are also available for the walking tour. The rangers can answer any questions.
Be sure to visit this gem just off Interstate 25. The historic El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (the Royal Road to the Interior) runs through this cultural site. Many people over time have lived, traveled and camped in this rugged and unforgiving area. Be sure you stop for awhile, too.
翻译:哇——很高兴我在最近的一个下午停下来。有一个徒步旅行可以回顾1400多年的历史,从Mogollon人(公元400-1300年)开始。美国政府于 1865 年建立了这座堡垒,为冲突和无法无天的地区带来和平。
游客中心有一些迷人的物品,包括道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟 (Douglas MacArthur) 可能穿过的婴儿鞋。展示了 Mogollon 陶器、士兵制服、地图和其他文物。
Adobe 保存是 Fort Selden 维护的重要组成部分。您可以制作自己的土坯作为纪念品。问护林员。
在安静的堡垒废墟中行走和反思,欣赏沙漠环境。留意以新墨西哥州这个地区为家的野生动物和植物。带上野餐——这里有一个阴凉的凉亭。徒步旅行也可使用遮阳伞。护林员可以回答任何问题。
一定要参观 25 号州际公路旁的这颗宝石。历史悠久的 El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro(通往内陆的皇家之路)贯穿这个文化遗址。随着时间的推移,许多人在这个崎岖不平的地区生活、旅行和露营。确保你也停下来一会儿。
