Altar Desert
From Wikitravel
Contents
The Altar Desert is a sandy region in the north of Sonora and Baja California, it is technically part of the Sonoran Desert.
[edit] Understand
The Altar desert is located above the northeast corner of the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California).
The region is also part of the 2 million acre El Pinacate/Gran Desierto del Altar Biosphere Reserve, a Mexican National Preserve.
The fishing village of El Golfo lies at the southwestern corner of the desert.
[edit] Get in
The Altar may be reached from San Luis Rio Colorado, south of Yuma Arizona.
Most of the area is protected; there are a few routes through the desert (next to the railroad tracks) to El Golfo. Offroad cross-country travel is prohibited, though locals and American off-road groups still traverse the desert illegally on a regular basis.
