Difficulty

This is an easy trail in dry conditions. Be aware that in December and during storms tides are high and estuaries that this trail passes will not be passable and you must take the routes around these low lying wetlands. Always use caution and look for recent tire tracks and walk these areas when condition is in question. These are remote areas so carry extra supplies and be aware that the nearest advertised fuel is 4 hours either direction from here in El Rosario or Jesus Maria.
