I was headed out to La Ventana for a day trip, and decided to check out a new (to me) road instead! On David K's map #28, there is a road that heads
south from the pavement at about km 23.
It is 30 kilometers of well graded road with signs, and km markers. No steep grades, or boring straight stretches on this road, it winds it's way
through foot hills and interesting scenery.
The entire length of the road is through ranch country, sometimes practically through someone's yard, so be ready to back off on the throttle. In
addition to the usual free range cattle and goats, I passed quite a few free range hogs!
The narrowest part of the road is at the south, San Blas end where it meets Mex 1. It is a narrow cattle guard that is open, but there is a closed
but unlocked gate next to it for a larger vehicle.
I back tracked about a mile from the cattle guard, then headed west on another well graded dirt road until it met up with the main highway a couple of
miles north of the intersection with the road to Cabo. That is an option if you aren't ready to leave the dirt yet!JZ - 2-17-2020 at 02:10 PM
From where to where? Got a kmz track? AKgringo - 2-17-2020 at 02:30 PM
No track JZ, but it is an old road that is probably on every map. I connects the two paved roads that serve La Ventana/Los Planes, and Los Barriles.
It is not a destination thing, but an 'if you are in the area' suggestion.
Are you in Baja now?4x4abc - 2-17-2020 at 02:58 PM
very cool side road at Los Encinitos - trucks OK - very scenic!
in addition to that, the wash is drivable for MC all the way to Las Playitas
a Jeep with 35's and lockers can do it too
locals do it often
highly recommended is a drive up Arroyo Los Caballeros
beautiful white sand and many old fig trees
