You start on dust and sun-hardened scrub, the engine’s thrum a steady heartbeat beneath you as the Baja wind pushes you toward the coast. Cacti lean like watchful neighbors while the trail drops and climbs over old volcanic outcrops; then, as the road opens, the Pacific announces itself with a salt-scented breeze and the distant sound of waves breaking against stone.

Carry extra water
Even on a short ride the Baja sun dehydrates quickly—bring more water than you think and sip regularly.
