Expedition Summary: This expedition led us nearly 2000 miles from Arizona, through the Sierra Madre from East to West all the way to the coast of the Sea of Cortez. While in the canyon system, we spent six days and 270 miles on unimproved dirt tracks. We ranged in altitude from nearly 8,000 feet to below 1,000, crossing three of the major barrancas.

Day Six: Cerocahui to La Reforma, and camp at Lake Huites

 

...I could live the rest of my days in Cerocahui. This beautiful mountain town, rich in history, with a great little river, cobblestone streets, 300 year old mission, and even a few mountain bike trails to help burn off the fresh tortillas...
