Bay of LA to Cabo route questions
A group of us on light-weight dirt bikes will be making a loop from Bay of LA to Cabo and back in late February / early March. If I can figure out how
to get the pdf of my map under 250 KB I'll attach it to another post. Anyway, I am wondering about our planned route into and out of Mulege. Is the
road from La Purisma to Mulege by way of Guajademi Canyon OK for dirt bikes? Likewise for the road from Mulege west to La Ballena (north of Scorpion
Bay). It's been several years since we rode both of these and I'm not sure what recent hurricanes have done. Also the road from San Luis Gonzaga into
Constitucion. Any insight would be appreciated.

Guajademi Canyon is closed due to last year's storm damage....confirmed within past week; West of Mulege to San Juanico via San Raymundo route is
passable but challenging in west half due to numerous water crossings and boulder-strewn arroyos....two bike and Kia Sportage did it last week of
November...
Have fun !
Don't believe everything you think....

Thanks for the update. I'm sure you saved us some grief. We didn't do any checking last year and rode the No Wimps trail, much to our chagrin.
I suppose San Pedro Canyon out through San Jose de Magdalena is still not passable?

The route west of Magdelena will take a long time to be cleared....so, yes, it is impassible....the road from La Purisma to Comondu to San Javier is
open and very rideable...
Have more fun....

I agree with Ged's suggestion of La Purisma to San Javier, it was a nice drive in my Kia, and should be better on 2 wheels. From San Javier, it is an
excellent paved road to Loreto, or you could head south and west to the highway north of Ciudad Insurgentes.
It has quite a few arroyo crossings, but it is much better than the San Raymundo route, with shallower water crossings.
I am sure there are alternate routes to the paved road through Ciudad Constitution, but I don't know them. From Constitution, or just south of it,
head south and east to the Cortez side near San Evaristo then follow the coast to La Paz.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Several have done the No Wimp Trail in the last couple of months, mostly in 4 wheel 4x4s. Try the Agua Verde dirt trail to Constitucion, word is it
has been graded and is now open. Also from Constitucion to La Paz via San Evaristo.

Lots of good suggestions here. I hadn't thought about going from Loreto to Mulege by way of Comondu. We could head east from La Purisma to the
highway and slab it into Mulege but still have plenty of dirt riding for the day. Agua Verde is on our Constitucion to Loreto route so good to hear of
the improved conditions.

Figured out how to get the maps under the KB limit. The attached still shows Guajademi Canyon which we are going to change. If anyone sees any other
known problems, feedback would be appreciated.
