Baja California Mexico

The Baja California peninsula is a sparsely populated land mass with a length of 1,247 km (775 miles), its width ranges from 25 miles (40 km) at its narrowest to 199 miles (320 km) at its widest point and has approximately 1,864 miles (3,000 km) of coastline with approximately 65 islands.

The basic geologic feature is a fault block rising on the gulf side and dropping into the Pacific, crowned by a chain of rugged peaks.

The Juárez and San Pedro Mártir mountains, the latter rising to 10,154 feet (3,095 metres) above sea level, form the divide in the north, with lower parallel ranges interrupted by erosion along both coasts.

Volcanoes include Las Tres Vírgenes (6,548 feet [1,996 metres]), last reported active in 1746. In the vicinity of the city of La Paz, the mountains disappear in a low, narrow isthmus, after which they reemerge in a final, lofty (7,100-foot [2,150-metre]) granite range. The most extensive plains are along the Pacific shore in the south, from near La Paz to Ojo de Liebre (Scammon’s) Lagoon.

The route would be extremely difficult by 4x4 or even motorbike, on 4 inch fat bikes it may be prove to be impossible.
