Old Spanish
Trail
In 1829-30, Antonio Armijo traveled from Abiquiú to California to trade for mules, thus extending the Old Spanish Trail and opening it to trade between Santa Fe and Los Angeles. His route turned west, near present day Abiquiú Dam, to Largo Canyon, which led him to the San Juan River.
