The adventure will start at the Tecate border crossing, where we all meet up in the secure parking lot on the US side, behind the border crossing. This is a secure patrolled lot, where you can leave your tow vehicle for the weekend. Once we do a quick meet and greet and fuel up, we'll cross the international border together. PLEASE NOTE : you must have current original registration and insurance for your UTV to get into Baja.
Day 1 Welcome to Baja.
Heading East through the Sierra Juarez Mountains, our first ride will be roughly 80 miles on entry level trials, allowing you to adapt to the Baja terrain. What starts out on mountain trail soon cascades into pine trees and fast, windy trails which your UTV will fly through! We'll come to our first stop in the small Baja town of Ojos Negros. There we will refuel and indulge ourselves in some delicious tacos for lunch. You will also have a chance to pick up beverages and ice at this point. As we leave Ojos with full bellies and gas tanks, our route will take us back into the mountains of Sierra Juarez for some sideways-drifting fast-paced trails. We will climb in elevation as we weave through the mountains once again. After several rights, lefts and cattle guards, the way will open up to smooth, fast paced trails often used by Baja race organizations - giving you a great idea of what some of the race terrain is like. The route will run about 75 miles to Valle La Trinidad, and just before you drop out on to the Hwy the famous Goat Trail will need to be navigated. What at first looks very overwhelming with giant rocks, ruts off camber drops - this is where you'll put your trust in your UTV and let it do all the work.
As we go through Valle LA Trinidad we top off the tanks with fuel and grab a quick snack at the local OXXO, before heading up to Mike's Sky Ranch for night 1. The road up to Mike's is fast and fun, super high speed trails as we go through San Matis toward Mike's. After roughly 26ish miles of white knuckle hill climbing, we reach the famous Mike's Sky Ranch.
Day 2 Mike's to San Quintin (Old Mill Hotel)
We leave Mike's Sky Ranch, we descend down the back side, through the mountain range of Sierra de Pedro riding the slower paced and definitely more challenging terrain to El Coyote. From here we go over to Rancho Meling (depending on our hunger level it's possible we'll be stopping for lunch here) and as we leave Rancho Meling we travel on a good mix of race course, and well used roads. We descend down to the small town of Camalu located on Hwy 1, just north of San Quintin on the Pacific Ocean. Then we will head south for beach riding and checking out some of the amazing sights Baja has to offer. Our Pacific route will leave you breathless, as you watch the waves crashing just feet from your UTV. We make a quick stop for lunch, and a splash of gas, before proceeding through San Quintin . This is an extremely fast and enjoyable section of the road and will provide many great memories of your trip! We regroup, before leaving the beach and heading into the 'Old Mill Hotel' for night two.
Day 3 Old Mill to Horse Power Ranch
The next morning, bright and early we will enjoy a group breakfast at the Old Mill, then back on the trail for Day 3. From the Old Mill we will head back on to the beach going North and popping out in Vicente Guerrero for fuel. The North Pacific Beach route is beautiful and fast. There are many hazards along the route so keep your eyes looking far ahead and listen for those radio call outs. Remember there is local traffic and residents living here so when in a populated area slow it down to a snail's pace. This action packed day will have it all. Beach driving, rocks and yes, everyone's favorite the Baja Silt.... it's like the gift that keeps on giving. You've come all this way to Baja so you have to experience it, not to mention it makes for some great action pictures. Today's route will take us about 140 miles into Ensenada and up to Horse Power Ranch for night three.
Day 4 Enjoying Mexico at its Best
After a good night at Horse Power Ranch we will head out the next morning. We make our way North, back up to Tecate, enjoying some wide open, fast pine forest trails. Talk about fun! This route is approximately 90 miles offroad and will take us once again from Ojos Negros to Tecate. We stop for our famous group picture, then head to the border crossing in Tecate. We'll say our final good byes to Baja and cross back over the border into the USA……. Mission Accomplished, safe, sound and with lots of great memories of our trip!
This four day Baja UTV Adventure will leave you counting the days 'till your next Baja experience!!!
