Mexican Federal Highway 24 (Carretera Federal 24) is a Federal Highway of Mexico. Highway 24 is intended to cross the Sierra Madre Occidental from the area of Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua on the east, to the area of Culiacan, Sinaloa on the west. A limited central section of about 75 km. is not yet completed or graded between the villages of Las Frailes, Durango on the east, and Soyatita, Sinaloa, on the west. Travel is possible through this area on unimproved roads. The two unconnected segments that end at Los Frailes, Durango and Soyatita, Sinaloa are graded, but each segment is unpaved for about the last 50 km. The central "gap" in this highway is in the rugged mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental. This uncompleted and unpaved portion of the road is not well signed, and there are many intersections with other unpaved roads, and it is easy to get lost off the intended route of Highway. This central portion of the proposed highway passes directly through the region known as the "Mexico's Golden Triangle", notorious for drug cultivation, drug trafficking, and related violent drug incidents.

At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
