  • Glorieta Pass (elevation 7500 ft.) is a mountain pass in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico. The pass is at a strategic location near at the southern end of the Sangre de Cristos in east central Santa Fe County southeast of the city of Santa Fe. Historically, the pass provided the most direct route through the mountains between the upper valley of the Pecos River to the east and the upper valley of the Rio Grande to the west. In the 19th century, it furnished the route of the westernmost leg of the Santa Fe Trail between Santa Fe and the High Plains. The Battle of Glorieta Pass, the decisive battle of the New Mexico Campaign of the American Civil War, was fought near the pass in March 1862. The victory by the Union Army (primarily in the form of the Colorado Militia) prevented the breakout of the Confederate Army forces onto the High Plains on the east side of Sangre de Cristo Mountains, halting the intended Confederate advance northward along the base of the Rocky Mountains. The battle is commemorated at Pecos National Historic Park on the east side of the pass. In the 20th century, the pass became used as the route of U.S. Highway 84 and later Interstate 25. The town of Glorieta is located on the eastern side of the pass. The stairwells of the Colorado State Capitol Building display cannonballs from the battle as ornaments. In 1879, the constructed a railroad through the pass, which became part of the second North American transcontinental railroad in March 1881. The NM&SP was absorbed into its parent company, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in 1899, and the Santa Fe used the route for their Chicago to Los Angeles trains, including the famed El Capitan and Super Chief. Now part of the BNSF system, this remains the route of Amtrak's Southwest Chief, with one passenger train each direction daily, but little freight. It is one of the last places where semaphore signals are still in use on a major United States railroad. (en)
  • Puerto de la Glorieta es un puerto de montaña en la sierra de la Sangre de Cristo en el norte de Nuevo México. El puerto es un sitio estratégico cerca del límite sur de la sierra de la Sangre de Cristo en el centro-este del condado de Santa Fe al sureste de la ciudad de Santa Fe.​ Históricamente, el puerto fue la ruta más directa para cruzar la sierra entre el valle alto del río Pecos al este y el valle alto del río Grande al occidente.En el siglo XIX, formó parte de la ruta más occidental del camino de Santa Fe entre Santa Fe y las Grandes Llanuras. La batalla decisiva de la campaña de Nuevo México durante la guerra civil estadounidense tuvo lugar cerca de este puerto de montaña en marzo del año 1862. La victoria del ejército de la Unión (en principio conformado por la milicia de Colorado) evitó el desmembramiento de las fuerzas del ejército confederado en las Grandes Llanuras en la parte oriental de la sierra de la Sangre de Cristo al lograr parar el avance confederado en su ruta al norte a través de las faldas de las Rocosas. La batalla se conmemora con el parque histórico nacional de Pecos al este del puerto. En el siglo XX el puerto se convirtió en la ruta de la autopista nacional 84 y posteriormente de la interestatal 25. El pueblo de Glorieta se ubica al este del puerto de montaña. (es)
