Road & Travel Reminder

Recent storms did a number on unpaved roads across Baja California Sur. If you are heading out to explore or need to travel into remote areas, be sure to check local conditions first and try to avoid driving right after a heavy rain.

It takes time for the arroyos to dry out and for local crews to clear away debris, rocks and washouts. Highway 1 is open and moving, but keep an eye out for detours and active roadwork as repairs continue.
