Cerro Prieto Loop

Trail Overview

This loop begins at the Cerro Anagodo Loop on a well-graded dirt road with a few washboards. The adventure truly starts with a right turn onto the pipeline road. Here, you'll encounter rutted, off-camber, and steep sections requiring a high-clearance, 4x4 vehicle and careful wheel placement. The highest point offers stunning views of distant windmills, and the desert flora and fauna are a sight to behold. After crossing a paved road, a sharp right turn leads back to the pavement, which crosses a bridge and returns to Mexico 2 Libre. Although the dirt road continues with more paths to explore, be mindful that the military is very protective of the windmill farm area.

Difficulty

The pipeline section of this road is very steep, presenting challenging off-camber angles and deep holes. Limited traction and light exposure make it advisable to air down your tires. An experienced driver should be prepared to get out and check the line to avoid any issues.
