Buenas.....has anyone been on Hwy 16 between Ensenada and San Felipe lately? Thanks

Mountainous road, some potholes. If you have the appropriate vehicle, side roads are worth the effort. Lots of farm country.
About a two hour drive either way, not including stops.

IMHO...worth the drive!

Wow, it hasn't been called Hwy. 16 in like 30 years!

What I thought was odd when the feds took it over from the state is that they didn't make a new highway number for it (like is there a Mex #4?)? So, they made it Mex. #3, which already is the Tecate-Ensenada highway!

Pavement was completed in 1978... It took 5 years to pave it from Ojos Negros (paved to from Ensenada in 1973) to Hwy. 5.

Was on last, last year... they were repaving long stretches of it.
