We spent the first half of March back at Loreto Bay, after a five-year absence.\u00a0 The carefree tourist experience was quite enjoyable!\u00a0 This may be due in part to the fact that our friends Leif and Susan had kept one of our old kayaks for us, gave us mountain bikes to keep for the whole time we were there, kept us company, and drove us to inaccessible places for hiking.<\/p>\n

I was reminded, flying in, how vast and rugged are the mountains of Baja California. Visitors have been doing more and more exploring recently, mostly finding routes that the locals and their livestock have been using for decades.\u00a0 Some of us had hiked up the slot canyon near Lig\u00fci years before, but this time we took the trail along the parallel ridge instead:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
