Looks like the descent to Bahia Agua Verde. Where the pasenger gets out to look around the corner for oncoming traffic.

Agua Verde

vgabndo - 12-24-2012 at 09:58 PM

Wow, too easy again! I was in my old van, and I had some concern that some of that re-bar might get a brake line, or puncture a tire. I remember it being pretty steep where the creek bed is the road.

More! (please)

Kurt and CJ got that answer too... and while Perry didn't come right out and say they were correct, I think it is what he meant... unless you are just offering a new way to spell the place Marc? :spingrin:

Merry Christmas!

There are many palm oasis canyons on the east side of Baja mountains... as I can see a developed pool in the photo, with a garden hose in it, my guess would be Guadalupe Canyon... but which campsite I do not know.

It has been 13 years since I hiked up the Santa Maria canyon, west of Gonzaga Bay and Las Palmitas...

I am telling BajaMur that there is water up this dry wash:

BAJACAT - 12-27-2012 at 10:11 PM

actually this place is 30 miles south of Guadalupe canyon..Its call Palomar canyon, with hot springs, but the water is nos as hot as Guadalupe Canyon.'near this place is a trail that takes you from Laguna salada to Laguna Hanson...

David K - 12-27-2012 at 10:50 PM

The water was beautiful and clear... did you guys wash it out or was it that way and what about the garden hose... yours?

Thanks José!

BAJACAT - 12-31-2012 at 05:11 PM

David water was clear,but the smell was overwhelming,because of the lack of use.The water house was already there it feeds the tub with hot water from the hot spring half a mile up stream.. this year I want to go back and see if I can reach ther end of the road again.

I hope I can join you! The road into Palomar Canyon was photographed in one of Erle Stanley Gardner's books:

In 1958 I drove up Palomar Canyon in a 2-wheel drive ton and a half flatbed truck full of Sierra Club'ers & their camp gear to a Rancho in a huge palm grove well up the canyon-----on a really good dirt road---------that road later washed out, and I was never able to return to that Rancho tho I tried several times over the later years.

Palomar Canyon is a jewel, and huge!!!

Maybe well known to Baja nuts, but not seen or mentioned in most books and maps...

Here are 2 maps and 2 'zooms in' on the canyon...

First, the now reported out-of-print, 2009 Baja CA Almanac (if this is a tease tio get you to buy one, great) page, followed by a zoom in on the canyon area.

Next, the long out-of-print 2003 Baja CA Almanac page, then a zoom in on the Palomar Canyon area. Note that the 2003 and earlier Almanac were of higher detail/ bigger scale than the 2009... so older is still good to get, if you can!

That runway is by the general's abandoned hunting lodge at the entrance to Santa Isabel Canyon.

Barry A. - 1-1-2013 at 05:18 PM

You know, David, after looking at your maps, I am thinking that my memory might be failing me on this one------referring back to my post about the 1958 trip, perhaps it was Santa Isabel Canyon that we went up that trip--------I know I have camped several times in each of those canyons, but now I am thinking the "Sierra club trip" that I drove the flat-bed truck up might have been Santa Isabel. (that was a long time ago)

After all Barry, so many canyons, so little time.
