Dominguez–Escalante Expedition
The Dominguez–Escalante Expedition was conducted in 1776 to find an overland route from Santa Fe, New Mexico to their Catholic mission in Monterey. Francisco Atanasio Domínguez and Silvestre Vélez de Escalante, Franciscan priests, and Don Bernardo Miera y Pacheco, a cartographer, traveled with eight men from Santa Fe through present day western Colorado to the Utah Valley (in the state of present day Utah). Along the journey they were aided by three Timpanog (Shoshone) guides. Due to hardships experienced during travel, the group did not reach Las Californias, but returned to Santa Fe through Arizona. The maps and documentation of their expedition aided future travelers. Their route became part of the Old Spanish Trail from Santa Fe.
==The expedition==
The Dominguez–Escalante Expedition was conducted in 1776 to find a route from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Spanish missions in California, such as the Spanish presidio at Monterey in Las Californias. On July 29, 1776, Francisco Atanasio Domínguez led the expedition from Santa Fe with fellow friar Silvestre Vélez de Escalante and cartographer Don Bernardo Miera y Pacheco.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uintahbasintah.org/jdandemain.htm ) cites: 〕 The initial part of their journey followed the route taken by Juan Rivera eleven years earlier into Ute country of southwestern Colorado. Three Timpanog Ute guides led them through northern Colorado, to Utah and back to Santa Fe.〔 They were the first white men to travel the route through much of the Colorado Plateau into Utah and back through Arizona to New Mexico.〔Katieri Treimer, ''Site research report, site no. 916, Southwest Colorado'', Earth Metrics Inc. and SRI International for Contel Systems and the U.S. Air Force 1989〕 During the course of their trip, they documented the route and provided detailed information about the "lush, mountainous land filled with game and timber, strange ruins of stone cities and villages, and rivers showing signs of precious metals."〔〔
