Does this road go to anywhere interesting or is there anything to see any distance into it?

I recommend exploring it via the Google Map or better yet the Fly-by Tour I put together on my MAPS page. It has some spectacular scenery including the falls and pools at Mesas de Bravo.

If you have Google Earth and launch the Fly-by Tour I put together you can use the marker for Las Mesas de Bravo to get its coordinates. I don't believe the falls at Las Mesas de Bravo are visible on Google, though there are quite a few waterfalls along the courses of the streams and rivers that run through the sierra.
Vallecitos is a town that, like other communities in the region, was largely abandoned by its inhabitants a couple of years ago due to violence and extortion, though many have since returned with the arrival of the Guardia Nacional.

Haven't you always warned against travel on Hwy. 134, heading to Ciudad Altamirano? Widespread lawlessness and a conspicuous absence of authority, as I recall.

Yes I have, but the presence of the Guardia Nacional has changed the panorama in much of Guerrero, and most guerrerenses are extremely grateful for their presence.

Thank you. We got too late of a start to make it all the way to the falls so we had to turn around at mm 152 before reaching the turn off. Saw only 3 motorcycles and met only 1 truck and 2 cars during the entire drive to the point where we finally turned around. Saw one brown uniformed man standing on the side of the road with a rifle on one shoulder and a machine gun on the other. Hope he was one of the good guys.
There was a tiny bit of water in one of the streams pretty far inland, can't remember the exact crossing but otherwise everything was very dry. I imagine this comes alive in the rainy season. There's lots of places where the water caused land slides and previous road wash-outs. Still the vistas were a great diversion from the beachfront. Thanks for the suggestion.
If anyone does decide to take this road, be sure to notify someone where you are going and when you expect to be back, as there was no cell service for the entire journey. In an emergency one could perhaps hike to one of the mountain tops but that's just a guess if cell service is even available there or not.
Filo Major! I’ve ridden my bike up here with local friends. Road is great gorgeous scenery. A very difficult 7 hours in the saddle pedalling!
