Catavina - San Jose del Faro

We rated this trail up from a two to a three. If you decide to take this with a vehicle like a sprinter van, make sure you have 4 low, and an experience driver. It’s definitely gotten more difficult since the Original post likely because of a Baja 1000 event following. The sandy long downhill at about the 10 mile mark has gotten deeper and would be very difficult to get back up heading north if you don’t have 4x4 and low air. And about 13 miles from the end there’s a very steep 35 m long hill that’s partially bedded in and partially rocky. That would be difficult without 4 low and good clearance. Other than that, just make sure if you plan to head all the way down the coast to Santa Rosaliita be aware that it’s about 150 miles to the next official gas station in Jesus Maria from the start of the trail.
