Canyons to El Fuerte

Hey Efuentes,

I talked to a number of people about driving from El Fuerte to Chihuahua, but most said you could not get there from here! I assume they were kidding, but more to the point; it is not easy as there are so many small roads to navigate. I'm sure local help would be needed along the route.

Well, I can see this thread didn't go very far, but I will post this in case anyone is looking for any recent information re;Copper Canyon. We just finished 4-days going through (up, down, in, out etc), and eventually we did make our way through the southern part of the canyon(s) to El Fuerte in Sinaloa.

Routing information is very difficult to come by, and assistance from locals is essential. I can't tell you how many times we came across splits (forks) in the road, either direction looking equally travelled. If there isn't anyone around, just pick a direction and hope for the best. Fortunately my wife is a Mexicana, so communicating was not a problem.

I'd like to make an entry here on the forums about the 4-days in the canyons and driving in Chihuahua in general, I'll try and find the appropriate place to do that. But again, anyone looking for recent (as of the posting) information, email me and I'll try and answer your questions.
