Mood: Have Baja Fever

Matomi Canyon stands out... See it in my TRIP #3 report.

But most will require a good 4x4 or long hikes.

Pool of the Virgin in Guadalupe Canyon is a long hike. See geoffff's recent trip report for Palomar Canyon hot spring, south of Guadalupe.

The waterfall-fed pool near Santiago (south of La Paz) is another popular one.

Matomí, and the waterfall flow varies. It was never stagnant on my visits, water always moving. I have swam in it several times, very refreshing.

Thank you for your interest!!
Yes, Maps are major with me! I couldn't find any maps that were accurate enough or showed what my book describes without becoming confusing by showing too much. So, I made my own... it took a lot of my time and I am happy with the results.

Here are all the maps I made (30) which cover most of the peninsula that my guide covers except for the Sierra Juarez (Laguna Hanson) region: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=88771

I have two parts of my book posted in the Road Conditions forum here on Nomad so you can get a preview look. The book will be edited more, I plan on adding page numbers and contents, for example. In the end, it is up to Baja Bound to publish, as I made it for them.
Here are the sample pages of 2 of the 6 parts of the Road Guide:

Part 3 San Quintín to Guerrero Negro: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=91898

Part 4: Guerrero Negro to San Ignacio: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=92377
