Dipping strata form hogback ridges between the Great Plains and the south end of the Rocky Mountains, and Interstate 25 cuts through them here. From here to Santa Fe, the Santa Fe Trail followed a natural valley eroded in less resistant strata between the mountains to the north and Glorieta Mesa to the south. The elevation is 6,200 feet.
