I was just out there a few weeks ago.
While I didn't see any people (it was Saturday), I saw plenty evidenceo of some kind of farming operation starting up at this visita site. I saw
various shacks & encampments, and a section of ground recently cleared of vegetation:
Here's what the site looks like from the air (drone):
I also just wrote about this in my trip report here: 10 Days in Baja

It's a 3.2 mile well-used dirt track. The first bit is in a tight little arroyo, and so is a bit bumpy and wiggly. Then it flattens out.
It took me 25 minutes creeping along in my van with stiff suspension, but I presume dirt bikes would be much faster.

Also, it might be worth walking around the site a bit more than I did. I somewhat regret not doing more exploring on foot while I was there!
The INEGI topo map indicates there should be a cementerio on the west side -- where I explored the old adobe walls. I did not find this.
And the map shows another dot (marked "San Isidro" [sic]) to the east of where I investigated, between the two river river tributaries -- it might be
interesting to see what's there.

Time permitting we do carry hiking boots.Will try to hike and explore. Did you do this run North to south to SQ. Just wondering because,the road we
took after passing San Isidro.Tight canyon many low tree branches. Wondering how your Van passed the low branches. Your 4x4 Van way cool years ago.I
had Chev 1 ton 4x4 Van lifted big tires.They do good off road,but backing up is a chore.When needing 4x4 to get out of tight spot.

I drove the loop "clockwise", east from SQ to San Isidoro, then south and finally back west out to Highway 1.
It was a bit overgrown and scratchy in a couple locations in washes -- enough to knock my mirrors flat back against the van body. My van's paint lost
its mirror finish a decade ago, so I don't worry about more scratches.
There was some minor vegetation around the road 16 miles west of the San Isidoro turn-off where the road follows a wash approaching Nueva York.
[gps:30.7102,-115.7196]
And then also 6 miles southeast of the San Isidoro turn-off where the road follows a tributary wash of the San Pablo. [gps:30.6839,-115.4589]

At San Pablo, with the last photo above? Yes -- there was pooled water there. I didn't consider about whether there was a dam, but I guess there must
have been. Here is a photo of the water there:
