El Antiguo Camino Espa

— 1829 - 1848 —

This plaque marks the end of the Old Spanish Trail, an historic pack trail from Santa Fe to the Pueblo of Los Angeles. This trail was used by Mexican traders who brought woolen goods from New Mexico to trade for highly prized California mules and horses, and by emigrants to California. The trail originated as a trade route between New Mexico and Utah during the Spanish colonial era and then extended west to California during the Mexican period.

Spanish Translation

El camino se origino durante el periodo colonial Espa?ol como un ruta para el comercio entre Nuevo Mexico y Utah que despues se extendio hacia el oeste hasta California durante el periodo Mexicano.
