This time I took a different side trip on the last half mile.
It seems like all the good stuff is farthest from the truck.
Take Exit 29 and head toward Tumacacori.
This road is Santa Gertrudis on the map
-
at the 1.6 mile point take the road to the left which drops down into the canyon.
The "road" to the right leads to a turnaround and a good place to park while you climb Tumacacori.
A 2x4 truck can make this road to where I stopped on this hike.
-
At the 2.2 miles there is a really nice shady spot. There are some rotting wooden benches and a small rock wall or foundation.
-
2.89 miles is a good place to stop and hike. In the next 200 yards from here the road turns into steps and sideways slide that you need a vehicle very high clearance or a quadlike thing.
-
I'll restart distances from this point because this is where the hike begins.
.25 miles there what looks like a rock cistern and hand dug well and what looks like a rock dog house.
(There is a mining road that leads off the north from here for a couple of miles to some mining areas. I found blackberries on the day I got to the end of the road. That's a triplog for another day)
-
.95 miles Rock Corral Spring is on the right with some rock tanks to the left. It looks like this was repaired as part of a Boy Scout Project a while back.
-'
Everything after the Spring is steep. Then it gets steeper. And then the road turns upside down.
1.32 is as far as my Silverado has made it. There is a wide spot in the road here.
After this point the road gets very steep and there are places that even some quads won't go.
-
1.8 is a good place to head off the road to a few saddles along the ridge to the South.
The one to the west has a South facing shelter cave or two. - - This is the one for today.
The shelter caves were an unexpected find.
