The El Santuario Mission church is not only a picturesque structure, but it is also famed for its chamber of healing mud; a Lourdes of New Mexico. The famous Chimayo rugs and blankets are woven in this area. Los Cerrillos [Illustration: Los Cerrillos] The sun-drenched ghost town of Los Cerrillos, (Little Hills) lies quiet today, but it was host to many notables like Theodore Roosevelt and Lew Wallace, a former Governor of N.M. and who also wrote “Ben Hur”. When gold was discovered in the 1800’s Cerillos was a whangdoodle western wide-open town. It hadn’t changed much over the years to 1958 when Walt Disney came and filmed the “Nine Lives of Elfego Baca” using the main Saloon which still stands today, in the same old way. Camel Rock [Illustration: Nature formed this “Camel Rock” located along the highway north of Santa Fe. Children clamor over the sandstone formation, and artists and photographers take its image home.] Strange And Unusual [Illustration: 2-wheeled cart] [Illustration: artist] [Illustration: Wherever you wander, along the narrow twisting streets of old Santa Fe, you’ll encounter interesting doorways.] [Illustration: Doorway] Santa Fe Trail [Illustration: The Santa Fe Trail ends at the Plaza in old Santa Fe, and a big bronze plaque proclaims the spot, but even today you can back-track over the trail and still see the wagon wheel impressions in many areas where those hearty pioneers came across country. They came to trade and seek their fortune in Santa Fe, the enchanting city even then, and as different then, as it is today.] [Illustration: Old Santa Fe—End of Santa Fe Trail] While oxen and covered wagons plied the Santa Fe Trail in the early days, much of that trail is now paved and the road bears that same name. [Illustration: And so, Adios Amigos and come often to the true Land of Enchantment and the City Different of Santa Fe.] Transcriber’s Notes —Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook is public-domain in the country of publication. —Provided additional bibliographic information based on copyright research. —Silently corrected a few palpable typos. —In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by _underscores_.
