Four-wheel drive, hiking, desert scenery in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. What is not to like! Lots of place to explore, historic sites, water features.... One of my favorite places to go in ABDSP! More

Access to Coyote Canyon is by 4WD or on foot. (Or, I guess, an off road bike?) Well worth it. You cross two washes and then get further up to an actual river - with watercress growing in it! On our trip the first wash was dry, the second had a bit of water in it and further up was... More

From the moment we arrived, I thought we had found the inspiration for the song by The Eagles.

When we were there it appeared to be on life support.... More
