The Sangre de Cristo Mountains, located in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, have a rich and complex history spanning thousands of years. The mountains were originally inhabited by various indigenous tribes, including the Taos Pueblo and the Navajo, who relied on the area's abundant natural resources for food, shelter, and medicine.

In the 16th century, Spanish explorers arrived in the region and began to establish settlements, including the town of Santa Fe, which was founded in 1610. The Spanish colonizers introduced new technologies and crops, including sheep and wheat, which transformed the region's economy and way of life.
