Dust and sea air mix as riders crest a low coastal ridge above Rosarito, the Pacific stretching left like an open hand. Engines hum beneath helmets; automatic four-wheelers respond to light inputs while scrub oak and chaparral lean into the wind. The route climbs to the highest viewpoints in the immediate Rosarito hills, where salt-scented breezes push across exposed rock and the town’s red roofs sit below.
