Harald, the track you posted leads to the top of Zamora. Based on studying satellite images and topographic maps plus what I have read on various
forums, Peralta (Or Perita in the Almanac) has a better chance of going through. Basically heading northwest at:
30.10168, -114.68319
Have you poked around up there? There is an old mining road that ends at:
30.144878, -114.800060

Me too. That's why I want to do it again. If you don't want to do it again, you didn't do it right the first time. Try again...

Thank you for the clarification. I was misreading the map. The one I am talking about is an offshoot of Peralta. Might be called Canon de Huerfanita.

Have you checked this one out before? Do you know the name?

Arroyo El Huerfanito here:

the arroyo north of Cerro El Huerfanito has no official name.
I tried the western entrance of it - did not find it suitable for 4x4
bikes should be OK

I found something pretty cool while poking around in Google Earth. It looks like there is an oasis in Arroyo Placer de los Peralta (*correction). It
appears to be about 160 feet long and 80 feet wide with quite a few palm trees as well. Hard to know if it's accessible but I'm going to put it on my
bucket list!
30.11135, -114.77563
Check it out and tell me what you think:

A bucket list is usually for things you want to do but haven't yet...
Since I have been fortunate to have seen so much of Baja and done so many fun explorations, there are for me these "bucket list" items:
1) Find the Melchior Diaz Grave (Walter Henderson's Rockpile).
2) Get to the Mission San Pedro Mártir site, preferably by helicopter.
3) Go with my wife on a whale encounter.
David; Finally convinced my wife to go to Ojo de Liebre and pet whales with Shari Bondy as guide...
AWESOME lifetime experience
you can tell people about it but until you experience it.... WOW
If the three days does not need to be at a new location but just at a favorite one, then it would be three days of relaxation on Shell Island.

Zac,
I want a route from Bahia to the ranch so I can ride back and forth on a mule. I don't want to use the main road via San Borja. Guillermo knows the
range and says it's possible, we just have to find the time to do it. He just asked me two nights ago when I want to go.
If you're up to adding company to your bucket list adventure, keep us in mind!

Is using the Terminal Canyon trail out of the question on a mule? This was how the gold/silver ore was brought down from San Juan before the cable
tram bucket line was installed. The next known trail would be the Golfo Camino Real, past El Aguaje... then turn north off the Camino Real towards Las
Flores. |
David,
Guillermo and I talked about this route over the summer. He said that the way over the mountain is less steep south of Las Flores. I don't know
exactly where and should have pulled out a topo map at the time. Darn it!

Harald, Doc (Camp Gecko) and I hiked some of the trail up from the terminal, and it was in the canyon and not on the ridgetop.

What fun to dream!
For those who want to swim with the whale sharks, hurry up and do it because it was much more difficult than I imagined it to be! We did it in La
Paz. Well, I went but can't say I was able to swim with them, they swam by me (does that count???).
Agua Verde,
The Observatory
Those are 2 places I want on my bucket list!

This sidebar topic on San Juan would be great in its own thread in the hiking forum, perhaps?

Back to the question, if I may.....
1. Camping out under the stars in Catavina
2. Kissing a whale at Laguna San Ignacio
3. Driving a competitive vehicle in the Baja 1000
hmmmmm, done 'em all, guess I need to work on a new list
but cannot improve on this one, for sure!!!

I went to Cabo Pulmo last winter and was shocked at the amount of development going on there and many areas I visisted in the past are now fenced. So
I assume that area will become another Cabo San Lucas. So much for it being a "reserve" which has a dubious meaning here in Mexico.
