Trail Overview

A rocky dirt track from the small town of La Purisima leading back to #1 near the southern end of Bahia Concepcion. The paved road from the west turns to rock and dirt at this town following the mountains along a mostly dry river canyon. The route has climbs and rocky creek crossings. The eastern end is mostly corrugated silt beds along the wash leading back to #1. No services exist in the area and no cell phone services. A few isolated cattle ranches can be found along the track along with several suitable camping spots. Scenic views as you leave town of the river valley.

Starts off easy in the beginning but gets rocky and slow mid way. 2WD easily but need clearance for all the loose rocks

Thought this might be a quick shortcut to san janico but it was not. Road is rough and rocky and quite slow going. There are some amazing views and we never needed 4x4 but definitely not a shortcut
