I've been there a couple times. I great site to visit, even if you're not that keen on the Santa Fe trade.

Ray, agree with your comment, it is a good place to visit along with the surrounding area historic sites, Sand Creek, Big Timber, Bent's New Fort, etc. Thanks for the comment.

Our boy scout troop toured the fort enroute to Cavalcade at Philmont from Nebraska. Nice place to explore.
