Difficulty

This trail is accessible to all vehicles and is generally considered easy. However, be cautious of certain sections that pass through salt flats or estuaries, as they might become impassable following major hurricanes or storms that result in unusually high tides in these low-lying regions. Exercise extra care when navigating these areas during such conditions. As with any trail in Baja, conditions can change unexpectedly. If something doesn't appear right, it's best to stop, get out of your vehicle, and walk the section before continuing your journey. Safety comes first, and taking a cautious approach can help ensure a smooth and trouble-free trip.
