A gulf four times bigger than the Grand Canyon, this chasm in the Sierra Madres offers outstanding backpacking and eco adventures. Even getting to this gorgeous gorge is a thrill: The dramatic 400-mile train trip through almost 100 tunnels and over 37 bridges is one of the world's most stunning.

We hired Cesar Gonzalez Quintero as our tour guide in Creel for 5 days. The 1st three days were visiting the sites at the top of Copper Canyon. The last two were driving down to Batopilas and then out to Urique and Divisedero on an unpaved one lane dirt road (this is recommenced for only the most adventurist of travelers but worth it). Cesar spoke excellent English and did a good job of explaining the history of the area and showing the sites. Cesar figured out that my buddy and myself wanted to hike and would drop up off to hike and tell us where he would meet us. An excellent trip with spectacular scenery made better by an excellent guide.

The trail to Cristo Rey is a little bit obscure, but locals will guide you if you ask. My very fractured Spanish got us on the path, which is only mildly strenuous. Creel is at about 6500 feet altitude, and the hike is uphill. But, quite manageable for a 65 and 70 yr old. The views are not like the Copper River Canyon, but you can see the whole of the valley in which Creel sits. Well worth the effort.
