This is your trip do what you want. It is very doable and will leave you time to play. It also gives you time to run longer one day if you find a
place you really
like and want to stay extra a day. Go have fun.

Fine trip.
Dont let some of the "Negative Nancy's" say otherwise.
DavidK has good advice here.
Some others not so much.
What ever you do ,.....dont listen to mtgoat666.
His advice is worthless(unless he says the sun comes up and goes down, even a broken clock is right twice a day).

ChickenL,
Suggest you plan your start times early to avoid driving at night and allowing you to see your daily destination better. I am assuming you are doing
this trip soon. If later in the spring not so big a deal.

You have never been to baja and came here for advice to plan for first trip,... now you are an expert without ever having been!
Your opinion means nothing to no one!

It is a lot to see and do and when you're done it may lot not seem like much of a vacation. That aside, it looks like your driving days are not too
long and you have breaks built in making the trip entirely doable. It will give you a quick view of a lot of places and you can decide where you
might want to concentrate future trips if you decide to return.

Doable itinerary.
My preference would be to skip san felipe and do catavina instead.

Hi chickenlicken,
Welcome to Nomad!
If your goal is to get as much of Baja covered in 2 weeks then it looks pretty close to do-able. You already have a rental car arranged (as you are
flying away from Baja on Day 15)?
I wonder about the San Ignacio Lagoon day? Are you going to 'wing it' (being a chicken) that you can get on a whale watching boat ride (and then spend
the night there or back in San Ignacio)?
My 2017 Trip Reports have almost all the peninsula sites covered if you want a look at what you may see there.
Avoiding the winding mountain roads and miles of farm and small-town traffic south of Ensenada is wise with your choice to drive across to San Felipe.
Tha Cataviña boulder fields and cactus gardens you would miss are duplicated in other areas, such as the drive into Bahia de los Angeles.
Have a great time and please post back here in our Trip Reports forum when you get home or on the road during the trip!
Thank you!

What a great agenda! I have done most of that drive. It's very doable and should not be too rushed. You may want to check out the metal rivet
church in Santa Rosalia while passing through. Have fun!

Hey Chris....sounds like you are being a "Negative Nancy" here...
(a cute phrase for pre-schoolers....  )... what gripe do you have with
Goat....or you just piling on trying to fit in with the other bullies in this playground who always seem to need an underdog to focus their
unhappiness on? 
Don't believe everything you think....

Goat and JJJ are the most worthless pieces of chit on this forum, in my opinion.

I’m not an underdog, I am the alpha dog. The sniping at me is just subordinate dogs desperately striving for alpha position they will never have

I didn't know chickens had tongues.... however, your plan is sound and totally doable but remember... itineraries don't have to be followed to a Tee.
Leave room for toodles and lay-overs along the way. One thing about Baja is you're going to leave a piece of your heart in at least one place on your
list. Plan on returning to retrieve it, and you may end up spending several days there anyway. I know I did on my first trip. Have fun and keep
the board posted not only with your travels but ''change of plans''... i'm sure there'll be a few. CAUTION: Baja is very addictive.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

I will add my dos centavos here. I cannot approve or disapprove your itinerary until I hear what time of year you will be doing this.
