ROAD TRIPS
ROAD TRIPS have the fun of exploring Baja by land as well as sea and target paddling destinations along the way. This has been my favorite method of exploring. Sea of Cortez road tripping destinations include Bahia de Los
Angeles and Bahia de Concepcion. Pacific destinations: La Bufadora and Asuncion.
SAMPLE TRIP: Coast to coast ACCESS: Drive from the border. KAYAKS: BYOB or rent from San Diego–based Aqua Adventures LENGTH: 10+ days. PERMITS: Bay of L.A. Buy permits at park office.
HIGHLIGHTS: It’s the journey! Driving attractions include the Valle de los Cirios (strangest plants on the planet) and the Viscaino Biosphere Reserve. Bay of L.A.: Coronado Island volcano hike, island hopping, and floating rocks. Bahia Concepcion: protected waters, sandy beaches, nighttime bioluminescence, hot springs. La Bufadora and Asuncion: world class Pacific surf and rock gardening. La Bufadora is featured in the video This is the Sea 4.
EXPERIENCE SEZ: Prepare your vehicle; carry tools and spare parts. Be thoroughly versed in Pacific surf before tackling La Bufadora or Asuncion. Lock your vehicle or leave it with someone you trust.
