The Rio San Pedro is sometimes impassable in winter on account of high
water. The first nine miles of the road is in a cañon, level, and very
sandy; the rest of the road to Cañon del Oro is hilly, ascending till
near the cañon, when there is a long, steep descent. Three miles beyond
Cañon del Oro the road enters the bed of a stream, usually dry; and
continues in it to within a half mile of Dry Camp. At the foot of the
mountains, opposite Dry Camp, say one and a half miles distant, are the
ruins of an old Pueblo, where there is water all the year. The Roieta
in winter is a running stream.
