There are several steep hills in the next few miles. The banks of the San Pedro are high and steep, and about ten yards apart. [2] In winter it is necessary to take the right fork to avoid Eureka Springs and the Cienega, just beyond it, which are then impassable. This road joins the one by Eureka Springs about a mile beyond the spring. [3] In summer the creek is dry at this point, but water can always be found by descending the creek half a mile.
