San Vicente to Valle de Trinidad video (3 min)

The cross-over road in a time-lapse video and fun music.

This road goes from Km. 103 on Hwy. 1 to Km. 120 on Hwy. 3 and is 40 miles long... Video was shared on Ride Baja's Facebook page... He calls it a "trail" but it is a graded road. 2WD ok, but I don't recommend motorhomes or travel trailers use it, however.

The Valle T cut off has some pretty good views from the top and is a great shortcut back and forth.

Didn’t time that one very good for the famed taco stop tho. Better luck next time on that part of the show.

David please rename your post that is not a trail. It is a car road if you want to do real trail to VT just come back and we do it.

WOW

I thought so too... Led Zeppelin was a good choice, as well!

Ahh sorry David now seeing the writer calling it trail. I have rode every trail and side road off. That road two routes go though all the rest dead ends . Still amazing things to see and many old ranchos. I take that back 3 routes go places not dead ends. One two track very nice views and gets you back to main road. 4x4 needed.

Yes, the route from San Vicente to Valle de Trinidad is very historic, too. The Spaniards used it to reach Mission Santa Catalina and the Colorado River as well as William Walker, (1853 President of the Republic of Lower California/ later Republic of Sonora) as a route east from his brief San Vicente capital/ HQ.
