"The King's Highway"

The oldest historical road in the United States, running over 2,000 miles from Mexico City to Taos. Parts of the Camino Real were used by Spanish explorers in the 1580s, but it was formally established in 1598 by Juan de Oñate, New Mexico's first colonizer and governor. Referred to as the Chihuahua Trail.
