The engine coughs, then settles into a steady growl as sand blooms from the rear tires. Salt and sun hit your face through the open cockpit while the guide points toward a ridge of white dunes that slope toward the Pacific. For two hours you trade pavement for a raw Baja landscape: scrubby cardón giving way to rutted desert trail and then to wind-scoured beaches where the ocean dares you closer.
