Road Conditions - El Coyote to Mike's Sky Ranch

56MM# - 7-13-2014 at 10:41 AM

Looking for an update on the road conditions and passability of this route. I have a slightly lifted 4Runner with 31.6-inch BFGs and a rear locker. Thanks.

Here is a GE picture of the Baja 500 race course for El Coyote (EC) to Mike Sky Ranch (MSR). In the area around RM230 to RM240 there were a couple of hills the racers had trouble getting up due to silt beds. Since you would be going down hill your only problem would be the ruts. If you use cation and strattle the ruts you should be OK. You may want to walk them just to be sure. If a VW and a side by side can make it up you should be OK.

There is another road for some of the distance between the two also.

The road straight north out of coyote gets pretty rough

It's funny but that is the one the AAA map includes, and not the other that you and I prefer (I have mileages along)!

I was on that road in April and there was a locked gate at a ranch before mikes but they had rough graded a path around the ranch
