When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

Great photo site. Was there anything special to see up there? (Besides the view)

We did a long hike along the top side. It was very interesting terrain with lots of large jagged rocks and some very green areas where water must
gather. I have never seen this area so dry. There was absolutely no sign of human activity.

When we were there once, there was a hawk,(eagle?) nest in the rocks just above the paintings.It was occupied. Spent the night there a few times, if
you go on past there is an interesting meadow a little farther along.....

I think it's "El" Montivedo, and it's not a town, it's a pintura site near Bajia de los Angles. Explore, you'll find it!

Wonderful sweeping landscape.
I don't believe I've ever been there.

Two miles south of the Bahia de los Angeles highway, on the San Borja road, take the single teack going to the east about 6-7 miles. Road goes
alongside a cliff and it is the site of much rock art. Called Montevideo. 2WD okay with high clearance.

There are very similar painted mountains to the West of Mex-5 from San Felipe to Mexicali. Very colorful... I have a great photo of them somewhere,
but I think it was before digital.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

It's narrow and I would not recommend it in a 2wd. There is a lot of deep soft riverbed sand and it could be a month before the next person rolled up
to find your bones.
DO NOT do this unless you have a reliable 4X4 with high clearance. The road is narrow too so my Ram has lots of fresh brush and cacti scrapes down the
side.
After instilling all this fear, I have to admit this is one of the most beautiful, tranquil places I have ever been.
Bring lots of water.
