NVRR & COA Present: Baja Adventure Raptor Run
4 Days | Nearly 1000 Total Miles | Close to 500 Dirt Miles | Baja California, Mexico
Buckle in for an off-road experience unlike any other. The Baja Adventure Raptor Run is a four-day journey through the legendary backroads, coastlines, mountains, and deserts of Baja California. This isn't just a run — it's a full-blown adventure that will test your skills, reward you with breathtaking views, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Day 1: From Mountains to the Pacific
Your adventure kicks off with a run through the scenic Baja mountains, where we make quick stops at Laguna Hanson and Ojos Negros. From there, we cruise along pavement into Valle de Trinidad for a must-stop at one of the region’s most famous taco stands. Then it's back on dirt, where we hug the coastline on a stunning blend of dirt and pavement with the Pacific Ocean just feet away. The day ends at our beachfront hotel in San Quintín — a perfect spot to relax after an incredible first day on the trail.
Day 2: Desert Trails and Mission Roads
We begin with pavement south to Cataviña, followed by dirt trails leading us back to the Pacific. Near Santa Rosaliita, we stop for another taco break, then hop on a short stretch of pavement to reach the turnoff for the historic San Borja Mission — a remote and beautiful site with deep Baja roots. After a brief stop, we hit dirt again before reaching the highway that takes us into Bahía de los Ángeles (BOLA), a peaceful fishing village nestled along the Gulf of California.
Day 3: Springs, Signatures, and the Sea of Cortez
We roll out of Bahia de los Angeles on pavement and head toward Frog Canyon, where a surprising water spring awaits — a rare sight in Northern Baja. After taking in the oasis-like scene, we continue on to Coco’s Corner, a Baja institution where every traveler signs the legendary guest book. The day wraps up with a stunning drive along the Sea of Cortez, with a scenic overlook stop before arriving in San Felipe for the night.
Day 4: Dry Lake Beds and a Dusty Finale
Our final day hits the dirt almost immediately after leaving the hotel, heading for Laguna del Diablo, a vast dry lake bed that offers incredible photo ops and a chance to open it up. We hit dirt again near Laguna Seca, another dry lake bed that showcases Baja’s rugged beauty. We emerge near Mexicali, just 20 miles from the border, with nearly 1,000 miles of unforgettable adventure behind us!
