OUTDOORS LOVER & ROAD TRIP FANATIC!
Hi Everyone! I'm Alejandra, although most people in the USA have always called me “Alex”.
I was born and raised in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. My TH-cam journey started after a solo cross-country road trip in 2021 from Los Angeles to Georgia, and back. I dreamed up what would eventually become my channel on the long drive back home. With no videography or editing background, I decided to still launch Miles and Hikes and learn on the go. The name sums up my two greatest loves: the miles I log on the road, and the hikes I take in the great outdoors, my happy place!
My Channel is focused on what I love most (and hope you do too!):
Camping
Fishing

The Ensenada Waterfall is UNREAL after heavy rains!
Very neat
How cool is this tree!?
That tree did look a bit like a skull, calling it a Halloween tree was perfect. That squirrel was cute and seemed to want to be on camera. Glad there was still some water at the falls, still looked pretty trickling down the rock.
That tree is already a classic with hikers in the area, and it looks perfect for this time of year lol The squirrel was cute, yes! probably used to people feeding it, which is not ideal, but oh well ... Yeah, nice to see the waterfall, even if it was just a trickle
Like if you also love shaded canyon trails!
Nice CUTOUTS. 🤣
The Fallout and Tomie art is so coool!
Amazing work!
@@misieparmenter8741 agreed!
If you know the exact path to the Cave please comment below 👇 Thanks! (I tried the one to the left, going up, right before hitting Mullholand)
That trail really dead ended. I didn't see any possible path forward? I'm sure if you research a little more you can figure it out. Good luck!
It completely dead ended! Unless I was on the wrong offshoot 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t know but one thing is for sure: I will be back!
Those are awesome!!!
@@XG1338 they sure are! 🎃🎃🎃
Absolutely beautiful sculptures 👍
They are!!
Super BadAzs!😮😮😅
100%!!!
They are so detailed.
extremely detailed!
The pumpkin carving art was amazing. I also loved the blend of art and gardens. I also was impressed by the pumpkin house too.
I agree! The pumpkin carving art was my favorite but what about those wood sculptures? pretty crazy too
Alejandra, I tried commenting on your Descanso Gardens video and could not. I wanted to say that Descanso Gardens has got some pretty cool Halloween stuff going on this year. As always, thanks for sharing!
That was terrific, Alejandra!! They've got some really nice Halloween stuff going on at Descanso Gardens this year. Thanks for sharing, Alex!
@@SWExplore thanks so much!! I love it all year long, there’s always something special. Even when you two made a video there not that long ago. It’s such a gorgeous place
How do you like those pumpkins!? 🎃🎃🎃
Canyons and caves...we love it!
@@bubbalovesoatmealadventure108 thanks for stopping by! 😃
I really liked seeing you explore the beach. You find such neat stuff. That urchin shell was so cool.
Thanks Sarah! Yeah that area really needs a lot more exploring, it’s so cool
Like if you think this was a fun dirt road drive!
Loved seeing those dolphins. I also thought it was neat to see you clean the fish. I just learned how to do that about a year ago and am slowly getting better.
How cool and close where those dolphins huh!? And I am very BAD at filleting still, but at least I travel with a pro :) lol It's cool to learn how to do it, nice you got into it as well Sarah.
Have you been to the Sea of Cortez?
Our favorite fire jumper AND how to fillet a trigger fish!
yessss, fire jumper is the best dog in all of Mexico! (Oatmeal in the US, lf course!) lol How did you like that trigger fish? those are hard to filet, they have a rough skin like an elephant!
nice fishing!!
@@XG1338 it was unexpected and so awesome 😄
The rock formations and sea caves look so neat. I also love how you had the tent setup for the day and made a little day camp. You did well fishing there! How neat to see the fossils in the rock.
Thanks Sarah!!! yeah having the camp setup is a must for me, I need shade everywhere I go or I burn up like a vampire! LOL Fishing was a nice surprise too, I was not expecting any fish at all there. Thanks for always watching and commenting, it is much appreciated <3
Beautiful campsite along the coast. You’re a pretty good fisher woman. Wow Alejandra!

Hola saludos...nuevo suscriptor..yo trabaje en esa mina
@@josetrenidad hola Jose! Bienvenido 😄 que buen dato. Que es lo que mas sacan allí? Hierro??
Sii solo hierro..se miran varios minerales pero solo hierro se extraía...saludos y bendiciones
@@josetrenidad muchas gracias Jose! Siempre pense que hierro era lo que mas salía allí, gracias por confirmarlo. Siguen sacando o ya no trabaja mucho la mina?
@@milesandhikes sii aún estamos trabajando en eso..pero en otro lugar
@@josetrenidad excelente! si sabes de mas minas abandonadas en la zona y quieres dejarme el dato de alguna donde sea bueno ir a hacer video, te dejo mi correo: milesandhikes@gmail.com Gracias!! que tengas bien dia :)
Nice video bro 👍
@@BraulioHuerta thanks for watching and commenting 😃
You'll have to go back to those hot springs when the weather cools off. Neat to see the abandoned house and the kiln too.
You’re absolutely right! Cause even the time before it wasn’t terribly cold. I will for sure go back. Thanks for always watching and commenting Sarah, appreciate it ❤
I felt every bump, every dusty trail, and the rush of freedom from this adventure. Baja is more than a place , it’s a feeling, and you captured it perfectly. This off-road camping trip is intense and emotional, and it made me feel alive just watching it.
@@LeonardoGonzalezPhoto beautiful comment Leonardo! Thanks for dropping by! Hope you check out my other videos, I have a ton of Baja content 😃
@@milesandhikes am on it!
@@LeonardoGonzalezPhoto cool! Thanks 👍
Hi Alejandra! Long time no chat, but I have been watching your great videos. And, most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS on your 1,000 milestone of subscribers. 🎉🎉🎉Terrific accomplishment justly deserved after much hard work. 😀
@@SWExplore awww thank you!! You guys rock ❤️
Thats great the pickup truck was able to get a helping hand and you caught that beautiful fish.
So happy a lot of people were able to help the pickup! ❤ outdoorsy folks are the best!
Great you could all help the pickup 😃
@@XG1338 yes!! He was in real trouble
try north side of Erendira and north of Punta Cabras at "El Playon" and "La Calavera" for surf fishing on the beach. Sand crabs or gulp! 2" camo worms for Mojarras/surf perch.
@@tomv4145 hi Tom! Yes, we have been to Punta Cabras and the northern side too! It’s beautiful as well. For some reason we have been more attracted to the south side lately, but I agree with you. Definitely need to explore the northern side more. Thanks for commenting 😉
This must be so challenging driving on a dirt road with all that dust coming up. Looks fun to watch
Those drivers definitely have nerves of steel 😱 it’s cool to watch them fly by and that was the flat part of the road. These guys speen on the gnarliest mountain roads too!
Have you witnessed any of the epic Baja Races!?
We were at ejido uruapan. What route mile was this? Hard to get to during ongoing race? Any backroads to get there if we wake up late?
@@rico3205 hey Rico, this was just at the start of town, probably a mile before the Ejido Erendira sign. We were down at the dry river bed, probably aroud here maps.app.goo.gl/LBn9Q2VpCTCc4UtD8. We got there late, after 1PM and it worked well. No issues getting in or out at all because the racers were not passing anywhere on the road to that spot. Last year we saw another Baja race alogside a dirt road in Santo Tomas and it was more complicated because we could not leave until the finished passing.
How do you escape the heat? Comment 👇
Con la ayuda de un ventilador (fan) jejejje 😂
@@dulzona jajaja si no queda otra!
I just love how the beaches look there - no crowds. They were some big mussels you found. I bet they were delicious. Also so neat to see the coyote on your way out.
@@hikingoutdoorfamily yeah exactly why I love Baja, it’s very easy to find remote places! The mussels were delicious (and of course free 🤣) There’s coyotes everywhere here!
Hola, Ale. Según el contador del yt, ya estas a 2 suscriptores de llegar a los primeros 1000! Genial! Saludos
@@dulzona hola Hallie! Si 😃 ya casi! (O ya “mero” jajajaja) gracias x seguirlo ❤️
That was so neat. So many fish! Also, I love the new look of all your thumbnails on your channel. That must have taken a lot of work!
@@hikingoutdoorfamily it was cool huh? Next time I need to use my long extension pole (forgot it in the car) so the camera doesn’t move so much! Thanks! Didn’t take that long (good thing I have a background in graphic design lol)
Did you imagine so many fish would be just beneath the surface!? I tied an underwater cam to my fishing rod and lowered it and wow! was I surprised :)
Me encantan esos lugares tranquilos,gracias por compartir
Que bueno Diego! Te va a gustar mi canal entonces. Gracias x comentar. Saludos
Buena pesca!! Especial para un cevichito esos cochitos,muy hermoso realmente la aventura,y buena lección la de recoger la basura 🚮 saludos cordiales

Pues si vives en Mexicali no estas tan lejos, puedes darte una vuelta por allí algún día, te lo super recomiendo! especialmente porque todo el camino esta pavimentado, y la vida en el bosque hace bien a la mente :)
