Camino del Canon

Trail Overview

Starting at an elevation of approximately 1,200 feet, this canyon road offers a steep and scenic descent over the initial 2.5 miles until you reach sea level. The journey begins under a canopy of trees, gradually transitioning into sharp curves that reveal breathtaking ocean views as you wind your way downward. Upon reaching the bottom, you have a choice: if you're in a hurry to return to Ensenada, you can take the paved road for the quickest route south. Alternatively, continue on the dirt trail after a brief stretch of pavement, where the road weaves through rural areas and diverse farms, allowing you to bypass the busy intersections and traffic of Maneadero. As the dirt trail concludes, you'll find multiple routes leading back to the main highway.
