barranca

A gully cut through the walls of the barranca at a sharp angle, and the pack-trail followed the bottom of the depression.

Before the barranca and the Black Caon were reached, a quivering line of gray had run along the tops of the eastern hills.

It was now agreed that we should all ride down the side of the barranca together, until we could find a place to descend into it.

It was a bright July morning four months after that fatal fight in the Spanish barranca.
