That PM we followed a good trail, not marked on most maps, back onto the plateau to Alcatrz, a small meadow south of La Grulla. Tuesday we visited huge, marshy La Grulla meadow before heading back to Santa Rosa. We had hoped to climb the beautiful white granite peaks of Tres Palomas(three doves) but time wouldn't allow. The following day we descended back into devilish El Cajon by what at first seemed like a switchbacked trail, but then petered out into rocks and. brush. The cars were reached late that afternoon, after five very full days exploring the scenic wonders of Baja's loftiest range. Only six aggressive rattlesnakes were encountered on this trip, fortunately their vigorous rattling provided us with adequate warning. We all want to go back, but never again by diabolical El Cajon. |
