Probably most of it, but I don't know much about the norther portion of it. The original route involved hiring a boat in Mulege to get over to the peninsula on the east side of Bahia Conception. I guess riding down the highway is a work around for that stretch.




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!

I would say most if not all that I have ridden was easy for a 4x4.

Thanks for that update. How long ago were you last on it? It seems like a great 4x4 road to get off the beaten path but still have a path... :)

Be careful, just cuz you can drive a 4x4 easy out here, still if anything happens you're stuck, might not see anyone for days. be prepared to take care of yourself. Currently blazing sun at 95 Fahrenheit!

I finally made it through that YouTube video. It was pretty good. There’s no danger of me riding the trail on a bicycle, but that might ride sections of it on a motorcycle.

I’m pretty sure I have a picture of the couple from the rancho on the road to Mulege at about the 1:30 mark. I stopped there on my way from Scorpion Bay in 2002, I think. I found the CD with the pictures, but I don’t have a computer with a CD-ROM drive anymore! I’ll post the pic here when I find a drive.

Okay, I got one of my old CD-ROMs on my computer. It's a different couple. Darn.

The couple I met in 2002 and the one from the Baja Divide Trail vid is second.

I really enjoyed that ride from SB to Mulege as well. The wife and I plan to go back with our trailer and camp some place out by one of the ranchos, maybe buy some cheese? Planning to ride it again in February on the moto again.

STILL have this on my to do list.

These are some side trips off the main route that I have planned.
Thanks to forum for inspiration.

From North to South:
San Pedro Martir Observatory - see a condor?
La Bocana beach area - find some Dino bones?
Santa Maria Oasis Trail
San Francisquito - new or full moon + Pink Floyd playlist.
Punta Abreojos - map notation= Lighthouses and Abelone shells
N. of San Igancio - sucker for volcanos - Three Virgins
San Jaunico - small detour, easiest way I'd ever get there.
