A year for all of it
The city option for the season south: a real malecón, whale sharks in the bay, island days on Espíritu Santo, and every service a long stay needs.
Easy923 mi4–8 weeks
Across the Laguna Salada dry lake to a palm canyon where hot-spring tubs are carved into the granite — the desert’s best-kept overnight.
Difficult85 mi2–3 days
The bottom of the map: Los Barriles’ fishing fleet, the quiet coast road, and the protected reef at Cabo Pulmo — rod on one day, snorkel the next.
Moderate1,120 mi2–3 weeks
Two nights in the strangest garden on earth: granite boulders, cirio forests, cave paintings, and an onyx ghost quarry down a graded spur.
Moderate297 mi3–5 days
The postcard: a palm-oasis river town and a chain of turquoise coves where the rig parks on the sand. The RV trip every member should make once.
Easy636 mi10–14 days
Baja’s wine country in a weekend: Tecate in, the Ruta del Vino through the valley, Ensenada’s food scene, and the coast home.
Easy145 mi2–3 days
The van-sized classic: surf points, street food, and cliff camps down the old free road from the border to San Quintín.
Easy195 mi4–6 days
The club’s backyard Baja 1000 country — mountain dirt, pine forest, and the most famous ranch gate in off-road racing, run as a border-to-border loop.
Difficult310 mi2–4 days
Border to Los Cabos at snowbird pace — the full peninsula in easy legs, with monthly-rate parks along the way.
Easy1,059 mi3–6 weeks
Island-studded bay on the Gulf side, and some of the most reliable yellowtail water on the peninsula.
Moderate397 mi5–7 days
Where the pavement gets interesting: south of Puertecitos the Gulf coast empties out, and the road delivers you to one of Baja’s last great beach outposts.
Moderate213 mi3–5 days
The easiest way into Baja there is: two hours of paved highway from the border to a beach town built for exactly this trip. If you’ve never taken the rig to Mexico, start here.

Three trips members send first-timers on.

Guerrero Negro & the Whale Lagoons

The winter pilgrimage: gray whales by the thousand in Scammon's Lagoon, salt-flat horizons, osprey on every pole — the mid-peninsula season stop every snowbird should build in.
Easy880 mi7–10 days

Los Barriles Winter Season

The East Cape's snowbird capital: a walkable beach town with a full gringo-services grid, world-class fishing out front, and a winter community that comes back every year.
Easy1,050 miSeason-long (Nov–Apr)

Puertecitos & the Matomí Wash

Tide-pool hot springs, the old coast road's volcanic point country, and a legendary sandy wash into the sierra — the San Felipe corridor's wild side.
Difficult330 mi3–5 days

Not sure which one you are?

Most members start with RV or Van and work outward. If your rig is over 30 feet, stay in RV — the camps in the other categories won’t fit you.
