Description
Trailhead parking for a short hike to some very cool dinosaur footprints. Follow the trail past the closed gate and continue on the road up the hill (not down the stone steps into the canyon).
Beautiful area with lots of possible hiking. This is Grupo Mexico Land (a mining conglomerate). They sponsored and maintain the dino footprints sites in the area.
If you continue on to Sendero 1, 1.5 km down the road further, it's a good idea to park at the fork in the road where the left fork goes up a steep hill. We walked to Sendero 1 and the road gets pretty gnarly as you get close. A car might make it most of the way, but the last stretch is really washed out. Sendero 1 is in a building surrounded by a fence. Open only on weekends. (Sendero 2 is outside and open 24/7). There's a hole in the fence where people obviously sneak in during the week. The small building is unlocked and you can look at the footprints inside. No troubles. Saw some trabajadores (Grupo Mexico employees), but they just smiled and waved.
Don't take google maps' suggested route. It takes you through a small mining neighborhood and to a dead end at a water tower. Instead, from Esqueda take Camino de Esqueda (Cam. de Esqueda on Google maps) out of town. This spot is several kilometers easy of town. Cool footprints. Enjoy. FREE, but tip the Grupo Mexico employees if you see them.
