Copper Canyon and Creel

Upon arrival in Creel we ended up missing the intended train but it was fortunate, as we were able to party with some fellow backpackers- who promptly convinced us to stay another day and bike to some hotsprings.

The ride there was an incredible 13+ kilometers of steep cobblestone roads that descended into a canyon. But with our new friends Jes, Ashley, Jarret and _ the ride went by in a flash.





A group of Mexican police officers followed us down with copious amounts of beer and some good cheer, which made it hard to leave this most amazing place.

But we got anxious to get back on the road, so we ascended the valley (laboriously), and hoped on the train heading east towards Los Mochis.

It was a beautiful ride.
