History
The Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway is a 83-mile loop through northern New Mexico that takes travelers through some of the state's most beautiful scenery. The route was officially designated a Scenic Byway by the New Mexico Department of Transportation in 1985, and it has been a popular destination for tourists ever since.
The history of the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway is deeply rooted in the history of the region. The area was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Taos, Jicarilla Apache, and Ute, who relied on the land for hunting, fishing, and gathering. Later, Spanish settlers arrived in the area, followed by American pioneers.
