Baja California defines the top (Northern) part of the second longest peninsula in the world. It borders USA to the North and Baja California Sur to the South. Great trails, surf, calming bays, tacos, beer and endless camping options awaits the adventurer.

The Ride

As the peninsula is split into two states, you’ll probably be riding all of Baja and not just this state. Be sure to also checkout the post on Baja California Sur. This will only focus on the Baja California State. Which is the northern half of ‘Baja’.
