About this listen

When Fort Union National Monument was closed during the government shutdown, we discovered that sometimes the best stories are found just beyond the gates. Join us on the 1,500-foot Fort Union Overlook Trail—a short but powerful walk that reveals sweeping views of the New Mexico plains, the distant Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the silent remains of a once-bustling military fort. Along the way, we’ll take in the sounds of the prairie, spot grasshoppers flashing their red underbellies, and reflect on the layers of history that still linger in the wind.


This hike proves that even when access is limited, the spirit of the land still tells its story.
