Lagos Secos

This off-road trail branches northeast at a 45-degree angle from a well-known Baja race route, quickly straightening out after less than a mile. The stretch comprises 2 to 3 inches of light sand and remains relatively smooth due to minimal traffic. The trail heads north through open desert terrain, flanked by medium-height vegetation, and meanders in and out of roughly 4 or 5 dry lake beds. In arid conditions, these dry lakes offer ideal, firm-ground campsites--perfect for overnight stays or making repairs beneath your vehicle. However, these beds can become water crossings during or after storms, eliminating camping potential. The route continues in a steady line until it reaches a junction near an arroyo surrounded by salt flats, where the distant silhouette of a lighthouse comes into view at the far end.
