On July 26, Ulibarrí turned north and crossed the Mesa de Maya into southeastern Colorado and found his way to Two Butte Creek and followed the creek down to its junction with the Arkansas River near Holly, Colorado.
After gathering about 60 Pueblo Indians, Ulibarrí and the expedition returned to New Mexico, apparently following a similar route, returned the Indians to Picuris Pueblo, and arrived in Santa Fe on September 2 [REF].
