Trail Overview

This trail connects the small communities of San Nicolas and San Sebastian. It goes all along the coast side. Expect very beautiful views on your way. Most of the trail is loose rock with one riverbed crossing that may or may not have some water depending on the season. At about halfway, there is a very small fisherman rancho. It's only an 11-kilometer trail, but it's challenging due to one section of the trail; it's a very hardcore up/down steep slope with just a carpet of rocks, located in the first quarter of the trail starting from San Sebastian.

Difficulty

If you start from San Nicolas, the first half or three-quarters of the way is just dirt, loose rocks, some sand, and washes on a very horizontal level road. But in the last section, getting to San Sebastian, the trail changes completely--there are very steep hills with loose rocks of all sizes all over the place, with one very tight turn. And there's a very steep downhill as you get into San Sebastian. The trail is in very bad shape, and it is obviously not well-trafficked. If you attempt to do this trail, only do it with a dirt bike and have some advanced experience on how to ride it. It's a no for any 4-wheel vehicle--not worth the risk. And if you are in San Sebastian, well, just take a look at the first hill you have to climb ... and you will understand.
