Barrancas del Cobre aka Copper Canyon

Am reposting this 2018 trip report. The original report was deleted by the owner.

Barrancas del Cobre aka Copper Canyon, Part 1
I met the the other members of the group that would be going to Barrancas del Cobre aka Copper Canyon in Douglas, AZ after spending a few days traveling El Camino Del Diablo. We would spend the next 16 days in Mexico. You can read the entire trip report on my blog. I have been asked not to share my GPS tracks.

In the 16 days we traveled about 1,400 total miles with about 600 being dirt roads. The canyons that make up the area are beautiful to drive through. Some of the roads seem to go straight up or straight down.

The van acting as shade on the Rio Chinipas.

We stopped at an adventure park on the edge of the canyon.

The train to El Fuerte winds through the mountains as it clings to their sides.

Thanks for sharing! Man I just love Mexico. Need to spend more time down there. I can usually only get away with 2 night camping vacation or go all out at a resort for a week. Never have I spent hours on un named roads going who knows where. One day!
