Most of the time the dirt/sand roads are easily passable by care. This is NOT a 4-wheel drive adventure. Ordinary cars are fine.
I have a couple of suggestions...earlier or later in the day are best for weather and sun. Midday sun is hot and glarey.
Also, bring a camera with a telephoto lens, or some binoculars, and you will probably see more detail than the people who walk right up to them.
I have spend many hours just driving around Borrego Springs and the Anza Borrego desert area, and often never leave the car. It's "desert beautiful".
There sculptures are just a few minutes from Christmas Circle, so they are close to town, and easy to get to.
Last tip...the are in the west end of the valley, and the mountains just to the west cast a long shadow late in the day. It literally gets darker earlier over there. Not a big problem, in fact a benefit when it's hot. But not as good for pictures after the sun dips behind the mountains..
Enjoy!
