Baja’s Backcountry
November 17, 2010 | 1 Comment
Laurie Weed wrote the October cover story “Baja’s Backcountry” for Highways magazine, with photography by Jak Wonderly.
“For a taste of our recent Mexican adventures-by-camper-van, check out the October issue of Highways. We spent several happy days exploring the Sierra de la Laguna biosphere in Baja del Sur. This article maps out easy trails to our favorite oases: a 30-foot waterfall, a series of deep green pools at the bottom of a gorge, and an arroyo that rambles through a wide, shallow canyon.”
