Estero Loop

Approaching from the west, this narrow single vehicle trail gently winds into the lowlands near the estero, where the path shows deep ruts worn in by Baja race traffic. Roughly a mile in, you'll find peaceful campsites near the water, tucked into the natural bends of the terrain. From there, the route gradually straightens and heads east, transitioning from compact hardpack to looser sand, about two to three inches deep. As you progress, the landscape shifts with the appearance of towering, ancient El Cardon cacti scattered across the desert. Along the way, multiple spurs branch north and south, offering additional exploration before the trail concludes at a junction with the road leading to Maria Auxiliadora.
