La Carrera De La Bobina Del Desierto

La carrera de la bobina del desierto, or the Desert Coil Run, kicks off north of the "San Felipe" trail, quickly plunging into a winding, sandy path carved through the open desert. This section is lively and challenging, with numerous whoops left behind by the recent Baja 250 race (VCP 35 to 40), making for a bumpy but exhilarating ride. About halfway through, the train sharply turns eastward, steering you toward the coast. The landscape opens into a flat desert plain where the whoops ease off, but deep, carved-out ruts demand attention. High clearance is necessary here -- vehicles should be equipped with at least 33-inch tires and a solid lift to navigate without getting stuck. As you continue, the trail winds through a beautiful desert forest filled with tall Ocotillos, dense Creosote bushes, and towering cacti, painting a classic Baja scene. The run concludes just shy of Highway 5 at the ruins of an old mining area -- a great spot to take a break, explore a bit, and soak in the rugged desert history.
