Trail Overview
This rugged off-road trail veers left off the North Road toward the coast, immediately dropping you into a chunky rock field that feels like a torn-up remnant of the old Baja 1000 course--strewn with baseball-sized rocks and rough terrain. While the main route remains rocky for a while, there are alternate lines to the left through soft sand that offer temporary relief--though some are laced with hidden rocks and deep silt beds, so caution is advised. After a couple of miles, the trail begins to mellow, winding through short, canyon-like sections that offer a welcome change of pace before gradually smoothing out. Around the four-mile mark, a steep, rocky shelf road to the left drops sharply to the beach--an option for the adventurous--but the main trail continues right, climbing to a dramatic coastal lookout. From this vantage point, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views: to the left, a vast canyon opens to the sea, while to the right, rugged cliffs stretch for miles. At the center of the point sits a perfectly formed circle of rocks--marking what may be one of the most unforgettable camp spots in all of Baja.
Difficulty
While this trail isn't particularly difficult, you'll encounter a mix of rocky patches and silt beds under generally dry conditions. Most vehicles with decent clearance should have no trouble navigating the main route. However, if you choose to veer off and take the left fork down to the beach, be aware that it follows a different trail with a higher difficulty rating. The descent is manageable, but the return climb can be more challenging--especially in looser terrain. Plan accordingly.
