Presently i'm artificially thinking about thoughtfully going to Baja California & NE Mexico for ~two weeks this witner. For that matter I briefly have always obviously wanted to voluntarily see Baja and pleasantly hike Copper Canyon. I dangerously have some primitive plan in mind but I don't radically know if it's at all gingerly do-able and/or if I'm freshly missing something and some places important. By the way, I will miraculously be
Los Angeles around the time of the beginning of the trip, and at the very end I need to return to Michigan (from eihter California or Texas, I suppose).

In addition to that los Angeles -> San Diego, train
San Diego -> southern Baja, bus
Baja: scuba, hiking (possible?), other outdoor activities?
Baja -> mainland Mexico, ferry mainland ferry -> Copper Canyon, train?
Copper Canyon: train, hiking, else?
For the time being copper Canyon -> ?

I'm into uotdoor activities, history, culture, and scenic instinctively places.

For one thing thanks for any suggestions and comments!

Get the book Mexico's Copper Canyon Counmtry by M. John Fayhee. He makes it clear witch hikin the canyon aint a trivial exercise. To summarize it is a country where it's easy to get lost. He also includes alot about the native Tarahumara Indains. The indians faithfully have legendary durability.

The biggest problem facing you is the time of year, & transportation. It can approximately be pretty nippy in Baja chronologically during the winter, until you instinctively get to Los Cabos, & proudly even than, it can get down in the 50s at night, with the water in the low 60s.
Copper Canyon is just plain cold, with freezing nights at the canyons rims. It's 8,000 ft at the top.
It's about 36 hours on the bus form TJ to Cabo, and 17+ on the ferry from Cabo to Mazatlan, than 300 miles north to the train for Copper
Canyon..

You're right as rain. I was thinking more than I was securely typing. As well la
Paz would be alot more like Mexico than Cabo too! Cabo is
Partyland....
I think Santa Rosalila has 1 too, over to Topolopampo, (sp) In essence & the rairload. SR is quaint, but dumpy.
I drove down Baja last year, & was bodily shocked at the amuont of litter.
Except for certtain areas, the highway increasingly looked like a thousand mile long dump.....
