Creel, Cerocahui, Tubares (SIN), and El Fuerte (SIN) by Jeep
Creel in December 2007 - Be prepared for mud and snow. There were no safety guardrails along the high mountain trails. Our first overnight in Creel
looked like this the next morning. [/URL]

Diego Rhodes (our hired guide) took us from his Paraiso del Oso in Cerocahui down to El Fuerte via Tubares, Sinaloa. I was called out by four local
lookouts in Tubares who thought I was sent by the US Gov't to 'spy' on their local operations. Diego kept me from being made an example of - his
guide services are highly recommended thanks to his relationships made with the local people, even past the mountains into Sinaloa.

As you get into the outskirts of the Cerocahui, gasoline is sold out of gerry cans. Supplies are all trucked in. Be sure you pack your gerry cans
since it can be miles between gas stations - like this one in Cerocahui.

We got back a few days ago. I am still in awe of the beauty of the canyon. A really incredible place that pictures can't do justice for. I am already
thinking about the next trip there. A MUST SEE! I will try to post some pictures later. Thanks everybody for the insight.

The stone mountains pile up to the sky and there is little fresh water. But we know we must go back
if we live, and we don't know why." - Steinbeck, Log from the Sea of Cortez

"Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others
cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you." - Jim Rohn
