This was a 12-day Christmas road trip through Baja California, and it completely changed how I think about time in Baja. You don’t need to boondock for months or disappear all winter to experience remote coastlines, small towns, and the real rhythm of the peninsula. Even on a short trip you can see an incredible amount of amazing spots!
