You want to ride the bikes on a salt flat? Take the road to Punta Abreojos west of San Ignacio, maybe?

Says who? Where is your sense of adventure? After loading the bikes, you can go diving....to retrieve the one that fell overboard 
But DK's suggestion is right on...rode those flats for two days last winter...more sand flats than salt flats (like Bonneville salt crystal
flats)...still a rust recipe either way
Don't believe everything you think....

There are small salt flats around San Carlos on the Pacific side of Baja Sur (Mag Bay).
And here in Lopez ATV's are put on pangas to go to Mag Island frequently.

There was a photo posted once of a Toyota truck on a panga. How they get cars over to islands off Baja... Also, Rancho Los Dolores is only reached
this way by vehicle. You can see roads on Google Earth from the beach west to the mission... but no roads go over the mountain ridge to there from the
Los Burros road.

My neighbor in Anchorage uses this boat in Prince William sound to work set net sites.

It also has an enclosed wheelhouse that can be placed on deck.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

salina cuarenta is not for offroading. it's a local eco-tourism attraction, frowned upon if your goal of visiting to the dry lake is to rip it up
with motor bikes 
dont be an a$$hat!
Woke!

South of Datil is not in the biosphere.. It's been so chewed by the last two storms I don't think the tracks would be visible. But agreed on the
reasons for visiting
