This Official Scenic Historic Marker is located just before I-25, on left side of road. It was erected by New Mexico Historic Preservation Division. The marker reads:

"Hogbacks"

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