Baja California National Park, Laguna Hanson, Parque Nacional Constitucion Camping

Gus at Laguna Hanson wine country and then along the coast to Ensenada, our first stop. From here explore the town, mingle with a margarita at Hussong's Cantina-the oldest in Baja, or savor some of the seafood Ensenada is famous for. Then it's a slow drive east and into the interior of northern Baja to the pine tree forests of the National Park, Parque Nacional Constitucion de 1857.

There is nothing like the crisp scent of pine riding on a gentle breeze.

By the time the desert dirt road gives way to the pine-covered forests we'll be camped next to the park's lake, Laguna Hanson, at about 4,000 ft. (1200 meters). During years with significant rain fall the lake fills up and the area comes alive. The park is also home to Bura Deer, coyote, cougar, fox, rabbit, Bald Eagle, hawk, quail, among others.

Night-time Off on a mountain hike at Laguna Hanson welcomes us with amazing constellations that seem close enough to touch. Full moons here are so bright; they'll light up the night.

Day 2 & 3

Buenos Dias! We're up for a substantial Baja breakfast. If there's ample water in the Laguna, the lake can be explored by kayak. The national park is unique as Baja Mexico's northern-most national park. Hiking among the pines is an exhilarating experience as well as seeing the many migratory birds that visit the area at certain times of the year. During the day explore the area or visit some of the ranchos. If you're a rock climber this will be a special treat. Of course, just sitting by the campfire and taking in the cool Baja vibe is always an option.

Day 1

The Trek begins in San Diego at the Baja Trek meeting point.

Once loaded up we'll move south across the border through farm and
