Cañoneros Progreso


The view on the road to Cañoneros Progreso in Ensenada. In the background is the dam and the road to Popular 89. From here one can see how spread out the city has become. Driving down into the canyon on a narrow road

The canyons steep walls have houses built on the sides of them. There is a feel all its own in this area. Flowers and greenery are everywhere.


One of the most distinguishing things about the canyon is the creative and economical use of old tires. They are the foundation for many houses and yards.


Red and purple iceplant adds its vibrant color everywhere.


Colors and textures combining to create a eye catching picture


Another tire foundation with a path leading to a home

Rocks and tires used together


A practical and logical use of the old tires, as steps.

All seems to blend in so naturally here.

Someone has parked their motorcycle at the foot of the very steep stairs to their home above.

Such a wonderful use for old tires that many think of as no longer good for anything.


Rock wall, trees and plants growing up the steep sides of the canyon

Wild daiseys and cactus line the roadside as one leaves the canyon on the other end, passing the road to Sexto, ending on Avenida Clark Flores.
