The engine settles into a steady growl and the Baja desert opens in front of you: scrubby creosote, low volcanic ridges, and a ribbon of sand that gives way to the Migriño shoreline. Guides check helmets and radios; the convoy peels off onto dry riverbeds that dare you to push harder, then climbs the wind-formed dunes for a view back over the Sea of Cortez.
