Locations: Tsegi Canyon.
| TsegiMouth of Tsegi Canyon. The southern route of the Old Spanish Trail came from the northeast through present-day Kayenta, and at Tsegi turned northwest through Tsegi Canyon. There are several collections of Muhlenbergia andina (Nutt.) Hitchc. in Tsegi and Betakin Canyons. This grass was first collected by William Gambel in 1841 while traveling on the Old Spanish Trail with the Rowland-Workman party to Los Angeles from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Nuttall (1848b, p. 187) published it as Calamagrostis andina Nutt. giving the location as “ in Upper California, on the Colorado of the West.” Along the southern route of the Old Spanish Trail, Tsegi and Betakin Canyons have the highest concentrations of M. andina of any place along the route near the Colorado River. There is also a collection of Frasera speciosa made about 5 miles up Tsegi Canyon. Access may be easier by way of Navajo National Monument.
