Which of the Santa Fe trails two routes stretched over 800 miles and traveled through the Rockies.

Explanation:

The road of Santa Fe, was a famous route of transport of the XIX century that ran through the center of North America, connecting the cities of Independence (now Missouri) and Santa Fe (today New Mexico) along about 1400 km of arid meadows, deserts and mountains.

The two routes were the mountain and the bighorn one. The Santa Fe Trail crossed the southeastern corner of Colorado.

Although the Cimarron Route crossed approximately only 14 miles from Baca County. In contrast, the Colorado segment of the Mountain Route was much longer, with a total of 181 miles. This route crossed the current counties of Prowers, Bent, Otero and Las Animas before entering New Mexico.
