Santiago waterfalls, Baja, Mexico

On a day that forecasted wild winds, we left the beach behind and headed to the tiny town of Santiago in the mountains about 50km from Los Barrilles. The sand road was bumpy, but well worth the drive to see the beautiful canyon and waterfall in Canion de la Zorra. The girls got friendly with some local burros (donkeys) and then hiked down the steep stone steps to the sparkling pools of green. We had the whole place to ourselves and it was blissful on this sunny, spring day. The girls leapt from the rocks performing spins and twirls, while Mark decided to climb to the top of the waterfall by scaling the rocks. He landed with a painful slap against his bottom and suffered the harassment of his daughters who critiqued his form all the way home. This is a place of spectacular beauty and we were so lucky to experience it in the way we did. Absolutely unforgettable!
