82 miles point to point...slow going faint 2 track at times over the boulders and thru the mountains...majority of the trail in the wash that has a million rocks chez the dirt has been washed away...I do it a couple times a year to say hey to the rancheros...they love the Gouda cheese, snickers bar and an ice cold coke...;D

Last April we went eastbound from La Ballena up to San Miguel, then turned north to the ruins of Guadalupe, eventually coming out through San Jose de Magdelena and out to Mex 1 just south of San Bruno. We were in two Toyota FJ60 Landcruisers. As Desertbull says, very slow going, lots of arroyo boulderfield driving, and the Pie de la Cuesta is not for the faint-of-heart. Very steep. I imagine last years hurricane made the route even worse, and possibly impassable (for vehicles anyhow) on the western side. One of these days I'll file a trip report . . .
