d some insignificant silver-bearing rocks, and it is thought that it was he who named the 
mountains nearby the Sierra de la Plata or the Silver Mountains. Rivera found little of commercial value that 
would interest his superiors in Santa Fe, but he did open up a route that would soon lead to the 
establishment of the Old Spanish Trail. This expedition and others to follow left names on the land which are 
only reminders we have today that the Spanish once explored this region. 
In 1776, one of the men who had accompanied Rivera, Andre Muniz, acted as a guide for another 
expedition. That party entered southwestern Colorado in search of a route west to California, traveling near 
today’s towns of Durango and Dolores. Along the way, they camped at the base of a large green mesa which 
today carries the name Mesa Verde. They were the first Europeans to record the discovery of an Anasazi 
archeological site in southwestern Colorado. 
By the early 1800s, American mountain men and trappers were exploring the area in their quest for 
beaver pelts. Men like Peg-leg Smith were outfitted with supplies in the crossroads trapping town of Taos, 
New Mexico. These adventurous American trappers were a tough bunch. They, possibly more than any other 
newcomers, penetrated deeply into the mountain fastness of southwestern Colorado, bringing back valuable 
information about the area and discovering new routes through the mountains. One of the trappers, William 
Becknell, the father of the Santa Fe Trail, camped in the area of Mesa Verde, where he found pottery shards, 
stone houses, and other Anasazi remains.
