Blanco Canyon / Running Water Draw Trail

Blanco Canyon / Running Water Draw Trail


(click on the maps for a larger view)




















We haven’t researched or explored this rout in much detail. However it was know that the water was pretty good and there were several fresh springs along this trail.

The primary camp was in Blanco Canyon on the White River. It would be pretty easy to get up on top of the Llano Estacado with carts in several places. Travel along the Running Water Draw would have been easy traveling.


















Once they got to the head waters of Running Water its documented that they went west to Alamosa Creek and followed it south around Tiban Mesa.
















Bosque Redondo on the Pecos was another camping spot. They would then have traveled up the Pecos past Puerto De Luna (Coronado named this place) and on to Anton Chico or Chaperito.
