You kick gravel as the guide thumbs the throttle and the desert answers—an arid wind pushing salt-scented air up from the Sea of Cortez. The four-hour loop threads through washed arroyos, along the base of the Sierra de la Giganta and onto sections of the storied Baja 1000 course, with island-studded water opening at every viewpoint.
