fornia. The war opened while he was
on his way with his dragons. He did
not follow the route now designated on
the maps as the "Old TRAIL" which is
more direct, hence better suited to mod
ern purposes Of the automobile tourists,
but the Kearny route ran hundreds OF
miles south of that line and reached
the southern boundary Of California
at Yuma; its terminus was at San
Diego, not Los Angeles, as the modern
route indicates. -
There may have been Indian trails
along what is now included as one part
of the Old Trails, between Santa Fe and
Los Angeles, but certainly that was not
the original Kearny route. There were
also subsidiary Old Trail routes which
ran northward from Trinidad. Coio.,
and also westward from the same point
on the main Old Trail, reaching Pixies
Peak and Denver and what Is now the
National Park with its Mesa Verde.
These connect with the main transcon-
tinental Old Trail, but are not on the
main route from coast to coast. The
total length of the main Old Trail from
Washington to the Pacific Coast IS
$40 miles and it reaches an altitude
of nearly 5000 feet at La Junta, Colo.

Trails road in recent years has peen
