Has anyone gone to San Javier via Ciudad Insurgentes, going east from 53 near Santo Domingo thru Piedras Paradas.....
I will try to post a pic of my map.geraldalexander7 - 10-10-2019 at 12:34 PM
Part of the Baja 1000 race course on a peninsula run usually and a pretty cool drive. Lots of water crossings.David K - 10-11-2019 at 10:00 AM
The visita ruin of La Presentación is along that road and Nomad 'Gueribo' has posted photos this year on Nomad. I know a couple of people who drove
it all the way to Hwy. 53 (Santo Domingo end) and nothing significant to report other than a graded, 2WD road with a few water crossings.

A few water crossings? I lost count of the many water crossings in December 2016!
At that time, it was a pretty decent dirt road, and the crossings had been used enough that 4x4 was not necessary. I enjoyed the drive!4x4abc - 10-11-2019 at 02:28 PM
very smooth and easy roadgeraldalexander7 - 10-11-2019 at 05:05 PM

I tried to map this back to the trail in the op and only got about halfway. Do you have a track?

Did you ever get any more info about this route? JZ - 12-28-2020 at 10:32 PM
No, I'll give it another shot tomorrow.
Will post the track. msulkers - 3-11-2022 at 03:31 PM
Route was very dry December 2021. Only one real water crossing. Baja 1000 traffic left a lot of stray boulders in the tracks. Very dry from the two
years of drought since fall 2019. msulkers - 10-27-2022 at 04:58 PM
Looking for recent reports on this route. Understand there will be water crossings, just wondering what the general character of the road is after the
storms...David K - 10-27-2022 at 07:07 PM
There was a hurricane on Sept. 8, this year that flooded much of the peninsula.
The good part is (if you are going south from San Javier) that you won't travel far before being forced back (if you can't pass).
The other direction would be less pleasant to find the way to the mission blocked!
Report back what you discover!
