What to pack
All you'll need are a couple of fresh changes of clothes, lighter weight in Summer and heavier in Winter. Toiletries and any personal medications that you may require need to be packed as well. Also recommended: a flashlight, a camera with lots of film, sunscreens, sunglasses, a bathing suit and sandals. Bring a canteen or camelback for water if not renting our gear. While you won't need a visa or other permit to ride in northern Baja, proper identification is always a must. On longer trips, such as to Cabo San Lucas, a passport or birth certificate and valid identification, such as a drivers license is required.
