🥰🤩😎This Memorial Day, instead of a backyard BBQ, what if you stood on an actual battlefield?
Most people don't know the Civil War reached New Mexico. In March 1862, Union and Confederate forces fought a three-day battle just 45 minutes down the canyon from our cabins — a clash historians call "the Gettysburg of the West." The outcome changed the fate of the entire Southwest forever.
The Glorieta Pass Battlefield is free to visit, largely unknown, and genuinely moving. Then come back up the canyon, light the fire pit, and watch the stars come out at 7,700 feet.
That's a Memorial Day worth remembering. 🎖️🏔️
