Like most explorers of the time, it was a search for Gold. It was no different for Captain Garcia Lopez de Cardenas whose primary objective was the location of the fabled Seven Cities of Gold in 1540. He had been sent by Cornado on a side trip to check out the existence of a rumored giant canyon and to see if Cibola might be in that region of the New World.
