Cooper Canyon Mexico April 2008

 


While in Mazatlan in April we rented a car and drove north  to the town of Los Mochis, Mexico approximately 200 miles from Mazatlan.  We spent the night in Los Mochis, left our rental car there, and took a taxi to El Fuerte where we met up with friends, Harold and Carolyn, from Denver, Colorado.  We left the next day for a four day train trip through  the Copper Canyon.  The railway was completed in 1961 after 90 years of construction.
