Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site
Pecos Trail Region
Buffalo Soldiers and the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts operating out of Fort Clark provide critical support in this rugged borderland area during the late 1800s. They patrolled the deep canyons along the Pecos River and Rio Grande, tracking Apache and other groups and protecting vital river crossings. As you marvel at the ancient pictographs and the vast canyon views at Seminole Canyon, imagine the soldiers and scouts whose skill and resilience were tested in this formidable landscape.
