A. desert sand that slowed wagons to a crawl.

The Santa Fe Trail ran from Independence, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The last part of the trail entered into desert which made it hard for the wagons to move at anything but a slow pace.

The Santa Fe Trail was original mapped out in the 1820's by a few groups beginning trade with the newly independent Mexico. The trail line would increase in importance during the Mexican-American War and right after with the discovery of gold in California. The gold rush brought many caravans on the trail but they all struggled on the last part of the journey as they entered desert sand. The trail would get the most use after the Civil War as many people began to settle the western lands.
