Conservation Note
Operators emphasize low-impact trails and provide lockers to keep visitors from leaving gear; visitors are asked to avoid trampling native shrubs and to pack out any waste.
The canyon sits within the geological transition between Baja's volcanic uplifts and coastal alluvial plains; local communities historically balanced fishing with small-scale agave and herb gathering, like damiana.
