Thanks Douglas for the update. We were very lucky to get through last May. At the bottom of the grade, Cameron talked about how iffy that route was, in Episode 1 of the Trail of Missions Recon on YouTube. We came in from the south to the mission then out via San José de Magdalena.

JZ, please use yellow or white for tracks - the standard colors are almost invisible for the color blind among us (almost 10% of the population) - a track file is even better

This washed out part of the road that was open last May appears between Minute 8 and 9 in Episode 1 and Cameron even talks about how this road is easily washed out. It was just opened a year ago after about three years of being closed.

Here is a scene from the YouTube episode using a drone over the canyon. Note the caption at the bottom:

New question


Kind of a thread jack, but it's my thread.:D

Does anyone know if its possible to get over to San Ignacio lagoon area going across the mountains? Not San Raymundo, something further north?




I like beer, better than most people.

The road is reported only passable to motorcycles. It goes from just south of Mission Guadalupe west to Rancho Las Tunas then on down to El Patrocinio and on to the Laguna San Ignacio highway, south of San Ignacio. Search posts by TMW and others for 'Tunas'.

Here is a map that TMW posted in one of those threads:
