Fort Union National Monument

Excellent historic site that is easy to get to off of I25. Rangers were engaged and helpful. The jr Ranger program was informative and fun, and took about 90 minutes to do all aspects. The VC is nice and has good exhibits. The remains of the fort are a worthwhile walk to get a sense of the scope of this site in its heyday. Very enjoyable stop.

Interesting historical information, very educational and worth taking 2 hours to enjoy the interpretive trail. Information displays throughout the walk that explained the timeline of use and what daily life was like for enlisted soldiers through the commanders. Path was packed fine gravel that would be ok for strollers or wheelchairs.

Nice 1 hour or so visit. Took the trail around fort. Very few buildings remain. Mostly rock foundations where buildings were. Did see lots of antelope deer.

I thought Fort Union was an awesome stop off of interstate 25. The park rangers at the fort were very informative and had a lot of knowledge on the forts history. We spent about 20 minutes chatting with the ranger about the history of the fort and the surrounding area. I enjoyed seeing the Santa Fe trail ruts and the marker in the center of the fort displaying the altitude above tidewater. Really a cool place, highly recommend.
