Golfo De Santa Clara - Highway 3 in Sonora

 I have been going to Puerto Penasco since 2005, and I have always been curious about this region of Mexico.  This trip, there was enough time to do a bit of exploring.  Highway 3 was completed in 2009 as an attempt to make it easier for Californians to visit Puerto Penasco. The highway passes through the largest sand dune area in North America and essentially follows the coast of the Sea of Cortez.
