Today we bid farewell to Valle de Guadalupe and drove south through Ensenada and the east along the 3 towards San Felipe. We decided to go see Laguna Hansen, a lake about 20 miles off the main road in the National Park. The elevation gets higher than you’d expect quickly and the temps dropped. As we’d stopped in Ensenada to runs some errands and get some lunch we barely pulled into the park before sunset. It was beautiful though. Giant boulders lay strewn across the park like sleeping giants in groupings small and large. Some seem toppled upon each other in ways that defy gravity. Fir trees get thicker further from the lake bed and seem content enough with their life in the sandy soil. Unfortunately the lakes are dry for the most part. The smaller lake had a bit of water, but the larger lake seemed to have been dry for a while.
