Text from the marker:
"Interstate 25 cuts through dipping strata that form hogback ridges between the Great Plains and the south end of the Rocky Mountains. The Santa Fe Trail from here to Santa Fe, followed a natural valley eroded in less resistant strata between the mountains to the north and Glorieta Mesa to the south. Elevation 6,200 feet."
The marker is located on the southbound side of State Highway 84 near the junction with Interstate 25.
This is one of two "Hogback" markers in the state.
