Magdalena Travel Guide

A charming little high desert semi-ghost, Magdalena is a genuine wild west icon. The end of the "hoof highway" from Arizona, for decades Magdalena was a busy shipping point on the Santa Fe railroad, where hundreds of thousands of cattle were sold and shipped out on the trains. Now a sleepy little burg in the shadows of the Magdalena Mountains, this interesting town offers historic buildings, a neat museum, and other offbeat attractions to the traveler seeking something different and unique.
