Tabor Canyon Hiking

 Tabor Canyon, just south of Loreto, BCS, is a rocky-bouldery mess. The trail is an occasional pile of rocks weaving up the canyon that looks like it was hit by a hurricane yesterday. 




What made the hike interesting is the sheer size of the boulders and how to navigate them. There were 3 crux points with some bolted in ropes. The first was a simple traverse around a waterfall (that was dry but still to tall to just "hop" up).




The second and third were a bit more "spicy". I was crying to my mommy as I had to pull myself under the big boulder and up a 20 foot rope. I seriously thought about turning around - not good to be laying there broken with no one around.



Each spot had me questioning whether I should turn back but around the next corner I could hear another waterfall so I kept going and going...


This ended up being way more physically and mentally challenging than I set out to do. Going to need some Don Julio to calm my nightmares of climbing down those ropes.




Yes, I did have to come back down! I swear those ropes were the scariest part of my whole trip so far! I turned the camera off to limit the splashing sounds of body fluids running down the rock.




Here is a video link if you are looking to see me stumble and cry for 30 minutes.
