Erendira Highway to Coastal Route South

Trail Overview

Embarking on this trail immediately sets a challenging tone, as the initial ascent is steep and rugged, bearing the scars of Baja 500 races, with sections that can be particularly rough. However, after the demanding first mile, the trail levels out, offering more relaxed stretches interspersed with canyon descents that require careful navigation through rain-worn ruts. On a clear day, breaking free from the hills reveals a stunning coastal drive, with expansive ocean views stretching for miles. Along the way, you'll encounter a few gates to open and close, but the reward comes at the trail's end--a breathtaking, panoramic view of the southern coast as you descend and join the southern route towards Punta Colonet.
