I just got back from a 10 day trip in the Baja Peninsula; All those stories you hear on the news about how unsafe it is - well they are a bunch of rot. I've traveled 3 times through Baja and never came close to feeling unsafe.
Just use common sense - don't flash money about, wear jewelry, expensive watches etc, etc (not uncommon what you would do in the USA);
I traveled from Tijuana to Ensenda to San Felipe on a motorcycle and felt totally at ease. The people are super friendly (speaking Spanish is a huge bonus); 99.99 % of the people are regular folks trying to make a living and enjoy time with their families.
We walked around the major towns at night with no issues but you do have to he aware of the seedy parts of town (like any other);
Go for it - Cooper Canyon is on my list for next year
