Ex-Hacienda Sinaloa

Trail Overview

This off-road trail begins at a small ejido just off Highway 1 and immediately ascends into the surrounding hills. About half a mile in, there are some flat areas suitable for camping before you begin your exploration. The trail is mostly smooth, though there are a few rugged sections, with the initial couple of miles involving a steady climb. Tire placement becomes crucial here, especially as you navigate the ruts and loose rocks. After reaching the first summit, you'll descend into scenic areas dotted with colorful lakes, which, depending on the season or recent rainfall, may expand and require taking the higher route. Continuing the ascent to a second summit, you'll encounter local wildlife like roadrunners, quail, and lizards. The final descent toward the highway to the observatory features loose rocks and challenging ruts before descending into a green area with a short sand section. As you approach the end, you'll pass through stunning areas filled with towering cacti before reaching the highway through an open gate.
