Welcome to Baja Nomad... We (some of us) have been here since 2002 to help, share, enjoy that great Baja feeling!

Before Baja Nomad, there was Amigos de Baja, and before that was Fred Metcalf's message board (both are gone).

22 day trail east side is fun and easy from hwy1 almost to Bola. Let me know if you want the track.

I'm not sure if it's just the part from MX 1 to BoLA that is the 22 day trail, or if it's the entire thing.

Re: 22 day trail...

you say fun and easy? we're all experienced riders, but have been reluctant to do single track on loaded bikes. but i would LOVE to do this trail if you stand by your "easy" statement....

thoughts?

Little bit of sand for the first mile or so. Nothing I can remember was anything but fun. I rode it solo in December.

You could always leave your stuff in a hotel in Bola and do a 22 day san borja loop. Easily done in a day.

Here are a couple more tracks I forgot to share with you. They are a canyon alternative to Hwy 5 once you get to Coco's. Very easy ride, my kids did it when they were about 10.

One of them comes out right where the cut through to the Pacific starts.

That is a great route, and while it was closed to motorcycles and off road racers for a time, it was open in 2016 when I last drove through. You can visit the mission site as well, less than a half mile off the route. From late 1766 to May 1767, the Jesuits had a mission here. The water was poisonous to crops so they had to move on, to Santa MarĂ­a.


Arroyo Calamajué


Mission site, across the arroyo from where the road drops down (see it across the valley).




The water can geet deeper... This was in September... three years ago.
