I heard they may have had rain in the last week, but prior to that the road was in good shape.

I have heard stories about how challenging a road this can become after a few good storms.

Since the tourist facility opened near the historic ranch, the road has been maintained.

Hi Ged,
I am in Arizona on my phone. But until I am back try using Nomad search for San Gregorio by me. I am sure I have included a map in one. Try the eco resort website too. It is in my July BajaBound article.

The road has changed a little since that last thread. Now instead of driving right into the mission at San Borja you turn off to the right maybe one quarter mile before the mission and the road goes up and over the hill to San Gregorio. There is also now a new ranchita near the old well and rock corrals about a mile before you get to San Gregorio. I haven't been up the since April but as DavidK said now that Rafael has a little eco camp going out there the road is being maintained. Should be no problem.

Thanks Larry. I hope people don't miss seeing the mission using this new road.
