Expedition: Baja | 9/22 - 9/25

 

Here we are again, on the verge of another Mexico adventure… we can’t wait to share what many of us feel is the pinnacle of off-road experiences.  Our focus for Expedition: Baja is to provide each participant the experience of a lifetime. This is much more than just plotting a course and chasing dust…  We want our participants to truly soak in the local flavor, and let each participant discover for themselves the bit of Baja magic that can only be experienced… not simply described.  Our focus aims on ensuring a safe, relaxing, and fun run for all participants.  But make no mistake, both you and your truck will be challenged on some of the toughest off-road terrain in the world, which we will guide you through in the safest manner possibly while still allowing you to cut loose and experience true off-road freedom.

 

Expedition: Baja will begin in Friday 9/22 and end Monday 9/25 when we cross back to the USA. This 4 day adventure will cross the northern Bay Peninsula with stops in San Felipe, San Quintin, and Ensenada.
