Description

Added by Sophia Niehaus

A 360 view of the Baja; from the desert landscape to the Sea of Cortez. This easy hike is a quick drive from the town of Los Barriles. If you come at the right time of the year you can see whales spouting out in the distance.

This hike is relatively easy with amazing views at the top and during the trail. There is little elevation gain in the beginning, and the gain is gradual as you make it to the top of the mountain. But if you do get tired there are many rocks to take a quick break on.

How to get there:

I wish I could place an exact location but I did not record an address when I did this hike. Starting from Los Barriles you will drive towards Rancho Leonero. However there are many side roads, twists, and turns so your best bet is stopping at Rancho Leonero where the gift shop worker would be more than happy to help you with directions. Also in Los Barriles, there is a real estate office that serves as a mini chamber as commerce called "homes and lands of Baja" on the street the 20th of February, that would be able to give directions.

Once you arrive at the hike, park on the west side of the road where there is a little parking area. From there, cross the road and walk around the south side of the mountain until the trail winds up and around north. The trail isn't very obvious but you can make it out enough to know which way you should be going.

After the hike stop back by Rancho Leonero to get drinks and food with a great view and oceanside sitting.

Cascada Sol De Mayo can be found just beyond the village of Santiago off Highway 1, the main road between La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo. After turning off Highway 1 towards Santiago, simply follow the signs for the "Waterfalls", Cascada Sol De Mayo, and/or Ranchero Ecologico Sol De Mayo. Eventually the road turns to dirt and dead-ends at the Ranchero, which has bathrooms and a small, sometimes...

Camp at Cabo Pulmo Beach

Cabo Pulmo is rustic, with jaw-rattling washboard roads leading through the vast Baja Sur desert to an epic point that overlooks the oldest of the only three reef systems on the Pacific side of North America.The town itself is little more than a collection of dive centers and a couple of restaurants and just north of town on and below the point of Cabo Pulmo itself is a wonderful white sand bea...

Relax at Playa el Arbolito

Spend a day at Playa El Medano

Playa El Medano is the main beach that you can spend the day at in Cabo San Lucas. This is a great beach to just spend the day at relax. There are plenty of activities to do on the beach as well, from jet skiing to horseback riding. It's a very popular spring break destination, so there will be lots of people trying to sell stuff. You can also see the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas from the ...

Sailing to El Arco, Cabo San Lucas

This is usually what you picture when you think of Cabo San Lucas. The iconic rock formation is an amazing sight to see. Take a boat to see the arch up close! There are also two beaches nearby that are worth a visit while you are going to the arch. They are Lover's Beach and Divorced Beach (nude/topless). This is a must see if you want to escape the craziness of Cabo and take in some of the...

Camp at El Saltito
