Departure of the Domínguez–Escalante Expedition

Within days of departure the party reached the pueblo of Santa Rosa de Abiquiú, held a Solemn Mass, and continued north and northwest.

Shortly after leaving Santa Fe, the travelers covered nine leagues and arrived at the pueblo of Santa Rosa de Abiquiú, where, because of various circumstances, they remained on the 31st without traveling and implored the aid of their holy patrons through a Solemn Mass. From that pueblo they traveled north and northwest toward a location near present-day Dulce, New Mexico.
