The engine settles into a steady growl as tires bite into packed sand, the Pacific breeze tasting faintly of salt and agave. You crest a low dune and the coastline drops away—waves hitting black rock while the desert behind you rolls in ochre ridges. Guides line up the fleet, run through a short practice loop, then send riders single-file along 100% off-road tracks that thread dry stream beds and scrubby hills.
