Trail Overview
Really beautiful view, from the riding side of the ocean and from high hills, with all the mountains on the back and the incredible colors of the Sea Of Cortez. Goes across some ranchos and fisherman houses. The same really nice beach called El Pescadero, where you can spend the day or camp with no problem for free and get to see the incredible night sky with stars all over the place and a clear view of the milky way. Keep your food in a safe place, or you may not have anything for breakfast! Racons are smarter than you may think! There is a small community called El Cardonal, where you can get some basic groceries to spend a few days camping.

Difficulty
During the dry season, besides a few soft sand sections and some loose rocks, the roads are in ok conditions, lots of cows on the side of the road, so be careful. During the rainy season, things can change a lot, and lots of rocks may show up, making it very hard to go through some sections without a 4x4. Make sure to ask the locals before, for the road conditions.
