US/Mexico border to Valle Trinidad Rd. About 96 miles, depending on how one comes thru Mexicali. There is a small gas station & store at the junction & a sign that says Valle Trinidad. It is just beyond the 141 kil. sign.
The following readings were taken beginning at the junction- & staying on the right fork
| 1. | The road forks about 200 yds in from the junction. The left fork becomes very sandy & US cars may have difficulty. The right fork stays on top of the ridges & is a little rough but ok for US cars. |
| 2. | 32.5- beginning reading at blacktop (at junction) |
| 3. | 34.5- cross roads- go straight thru. The north direction hits Hwy #5 at about 139 |
| 4. | 48.0- right fork comes back with left fork |
| 5. | 48.1- junction- go left; right goes to Pacific Ocean. Good spot for a few to dry camp at junction. |
| 6. | 58.0- junction- go left |
| 7. | 58.5- enter dry lake. Tracks go all over. Main rd when wet conditions stays high on the lake bed on left or east. |
| 8. | 68.0-: road goes in to Rancho Santa Clara- take to climb via Canon Del Diablo |
| 9. | 71.8- we cut across dry lake to hit road that goes directly towards mouth of Canon Providencia- not recommended for other than 4-wheel drive vehicles |
| 10. | Road into the next Rancho- Rancho Para- that one normally takes to climb via Canon Providencia is near the end of the dry lake- a mile or so beyond 71.8. We didn't go that far this trip so the mileage wasn't recorded. |
