Guadalupe Canyon Desert Weekend 11-12-05 (Part 2)


Here's the rest of the photos... getting too many in one thread, so I split into 2 parts... Enjoy! Part 1 is at http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=14020

Heading home, I snapped a couple of shots of the road where it is good: between the graded washboard and the rock embedded sections...

We are not in a hurry to head home, so we take a road to the south and then do some climbing by foot...

Finally we turn north to head home... Baja Angel asked me to get a photo showing the dry lake road... It is hard for her to get people to actually believe such a beatuful place as Guadalupe Canyon is reached after driving 25 miles on a dry lake bed!

Yup, Baja deserts are the best!

These photos were taken just east and south of Guadalupe Canyon's entrance. Lots of minor dirt roads head south from the main Guadalupe entrance road.

This time of year is just beautiful out there!
