Journey through history on the Beale Wagon Road, a significant route developed between 1857 and 1859 by Navy Lieutenant Edward Fitzgerald Beale. Commissioned by the U.S. government to support westward expansion, this 1,240-mile trail stretches from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to the Colorado River, offering a glimpse into the past through the landscapes of New Mexico and Arizona. The Beale Road, popluar from 1858 until AT&SF Railroad’s arrival in 1882, paved the way for Arizona and California settlers and military use. Today, Historic Route 66 and Interstate 40 follow its path, yet the original road is still traceable and partially used for local travel. Activity Rating: 1-2.
