Any hikers here?

[The Duck]

RE WRT I have had the good fortune of going out into the boonies of GTO [like 5 miles from el Centro] and into very different and very beautiful landscapes. I highly recommend him as a guide to the seldom seen back country of GTO - You don't need a 4WD - you can walk it if you know where to go. A nice simple route would be from the Panoramica above Pastitas [go to the right] and then up the next dirt road [left] to the pueblo of Monte San Nicolas - you can then continue on to Santa Rosa where you can take the next Flecha back down to GTO - but all in all this is a tame route, WRT can get you really inside the hills. Another way to do this is to climb el Meco [left to a mirador on the Panoramica] and then up - no trail - as you get to the summit veer to the left and go counterclockwise to the cruz on top - then go across the llano over the other edge and down into Monte SN. It is hard to get lost - just go down and if you hit a road follow it down and eventually you'll be back in GTO
