When planning your travel schedule in Baja, we'd suggest not being overly ambitious in charting a daily mileage target. A 200-250 mile day would be more like 300-400 miles north of the border. Expect your road speed to average 35-40 miles per hour, not 50 or 55. Stretches of rough road, hilly country in the north, underpowered Mexican trucks, and the ever-present "inspections" all combine to guarantee modest progress at best. We also would recommend finding an overnight stop by mid-afternoon, as it is sometimes considerable distance between suitable overnight options. And finding an RV park in the dark (when there may well be no lighting at all) would offer a challenge you can do without. Please read our Driving in Mexico page for more information. Distances Between Points in Highway 1
Note: You should not associate these distances with the time required to drive between the points on the highway. Road conditions in most places limit speeds to well below what might be expected on many two-lane highways in the U.S. Distances adapted from the mileage chart
