Description

Added by Scott Sichler

A short but steep hike with epic views of Bahia Concepcion.

This 4 mile out and back hike climbs almost 900 feet on the side of the hill North of Playa El Burrro. From the beach the trail is clearly visible as it zig zags up the hill. Once you reach the top, continue right along the rocky spine of the hill for panoramic views of Bahia Concepcion and the surrounding white sand beaches.

You can park at the beach or nearby Restaurant JC'S which has tasty fish tacos and powerful margaritas that are perfect for post hike refreshments.

Camp at Bill's Beach, Playa Santispac

Bahía de Concepcion on the eastern side of Baja California is one of the most iconic and beautiful places on the peninsula. It and its beaches are *why* people drive for two days out into the middle of nowhere. It is a place that makes Baja, Baja. Bill's Beach, so named for a Canadian man who came on his retirement trip in a 2008 Lincoln sedan and never left (and still lives in a tent next to t...

Camp at Playa el Requeson

Of the nine or so beaches where you can camp and/or find lodging along the eastern shore of Bahía de Concepcíon in Baja, El Requeson is arguably the most beautiful. It has no facilities, no cell service, and no amenities other than the occasional local vendor who may (or may not) come by in the morning to offer water or empanadas for sale. To get there, if you are heading south along Highway 1 ...

Camp at Caleta Almeja

Caleta Almeja is why explorers and adventurers go to Baja. And then go back again and again. The little bay is absolutely teaming with sea life and the setting is absolutely breathtaking. Getting there is the hardest part. It is *at least* a two day drive from the US-Mexico border and about 2 hours north of Loreto, the nearest town with an airport of any size. Available maps are inaccurate at b...

Kayak Coronado Island in Loreto Bay

There are several ways to kayak to Coronado Island at the north end of Loreto Bay. The easiest way is to drive north from town on Davis Street. Davis Street begins as pavement before it crosses a wash and weaves along the dunes north of Loreto. Most of the street is fenced in, and it is easy to follow. There are signs pointing toward a restaurant called La Picazón that you can follow. The road...

Hike El Tular Canyon in the Sierra de la Gigante Mountains

My favorite time to make this hike is just before sunrise. The alpine glow on the range above the cool canyon is a beautiful sight. There is enough time to make the hike and get back before the sun begins to heat the canyon floor, awakening rattlesnakes and Baja's intense midday heat.About 8.5km south of the arroyo bridge in Loreto on Highway 1 is a substation. Make a right as this is the ranch...

Trips to explore the mission are one of the most popular side trips for people visiting the Loreto area. Behind the mission is short path to an olive tree which at 300+ years old is said...
