Although this is probably not the place in which John Steinbeck hunted Big Horn sheep in 1940, it is often referred to as the "Steinbeck Canyon." Just across the road from the entrance to Puerto Escondido and an hour's climb into the Sierra de la Giganta, the view back to the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) is spectacular.
The hike is challenging, one spot taking you into, under, through, and up over huge boulders tumbled together by roaring flood waters through many years and many storms. A bat circled our heads as we wriggled through a cave, then we stepped steeply up the crack to the next level.
We were hiking with Don and Debbie from Buena Vista and Dave Wallace from AirOps. Each extra hiker motivates the rest of us to keep going.
