Route plan-Nogales to Creel??
Hey Mexico experts....I'm back. Furiously planning our April trip to Copper Canyon.
We plan to cross at Nogales, Mex 15 south, then cut over at Magdalena de Kino to Mex 118, then head south down to Mex 14.
From here I'm not sure what to do. I know
we can't make Creel in one day, but I'm
not wild about leading 5 riders into huge
Hermosillo to try to find a Motel. I don't know Hermosillo at all, never stopped there.
Does anyone have any good ideas for a Motel along this route? I figure we could
continue south, crossing Mex 14 and head south and link with Mex 16, then head east towards Creel, but eventually we would run out of daylight.
I've done Mex 16 twice but can't remember if any of the towns along 16 have a decent motel or not. Maybe Yecora
or one of those little towns?
Or should we play it safe and stay the night in Hermosillo? Any tips on places
at the Northeastern end of town?
BTW, we are fairly fast riders and can easily do a 400 mile day. (starting from Nogales at 9am. Should get dark by 6pm.
Any help or ideas appreciated!
Patrick
