The wagon train began moving up the trail on May 1, 1868, arranged in two parallel columns of 100 wagons each, with horses and extra oxen walking between the two columns. The wool caravan included at least 3,200 oxen, more than 500 horses and mules, and about 500 men. about 100 of the men rode horseback in front of the caravan, guiding the train and watching for hostile Indians. Transporting the most wool in the caravan were Rumaldo Baca of Las Vegas, who had thirty wagons and at least 500 oxen; and Jose Manuel gonzales, who had twelve wagons, each drawn by from eight to twelve yokes of oxen.

The Weekly New Mexican at santa Fe, on august 2, 1879, described the Las Vegas scene this way: The crowd needs no description. The merchant from the east in broad cloth, jostled the laborer, while the soft handed clerk had for his neighbor a cowboy, whose wide brimmed hat with glittering cord, and cartridge belt set off his good looks to best advantage. Contractors, traders, ranchmen, speculators, etc, etc., were there in force. The women who did the dancing were american and Mexican ranging through nearly all grades of good and bad looks. The halls were brilliantly lighted, music was furnished by excellent string bands for the dances, glasses jingled in time with the music and as was to have been expected many of the pleasure seekers were more than half seas over before the night turned toward the wee small hours.
