From the mine up the wash to the trail is a climb of about 300 feet.

The mine area is around 1700 feet and the trail peaks at about 2800+ then drops back to around 2500 feet toward the hwy. These are approximate
elevations.

Friday the 23rd
Some people just can't wait. Told a few neighbors about it and they had to go yesterday. - Remember, we're in Baja Bugs and desert rails - no MCs.
There is a road into the mouth of the canyon from Hghy 5 but we only found it on our way out.
This shows where we went - from Matomi to the canyon and back out to the highway. (red) and points for the mine and upper canyon near the lower left.
This shows our gong into the mouth - about a mile from the lunch spot.
There were motorcycle tracks going on beyond where we went. Because of a broken axle on a rail and time of day we turned around there but know we can
drive further up the canyon on another day. Where we stopped we were at about 635 ft elevation. Longer days will help when we go back again.
