Mood: Pole Line Road postponed due to injury

Searching routes across/through the new Matomi Canyon


A fellow Baja Jeeper and I are planning on giving the new Matomi Canyon a go. Our Jeeps are set up for the Pole Line Road, and the Matomi Canyon doesn't look too much more challenging than lower Jaquegel Canyon.

Anyone have a way of searching Google for better images of the new Matomi?

What is the new Matomi ? The photos of the narrows looked pretty challenging.

OK... 'new' in that the sand was washed away that once covered those boulders! It was almost that bad in 1978 when I first drove down Matomi... had to jack up my Subaru a couple times to push it over boulders. The next 30 years it was covered by sand, and easy.

Have fun...
