Borrego Palm Canyon Hike
Join us on our annual trip to the Anza Borrego Desert in search of blooming wildflowers and hike near the town of Borrego Springs.
- We will start at the State Park Visitor's Center and grab lunch in town before we begin our trek into the wild.
- We'll be hiking the Borrego Palm Canyon trail which is 2.9 mile loop rated moderate to strenuous depending on weather temperatures.
Borrego Palm Canyon is home to the third-largest palm oasis in California, which was the first site sought for a desert state park back in the 1920s. It's a beautiful, well-watered oasis, tucked away in a rocky V-shaped gorge. If we're lucky, we may get a glimpse a bighorn sheep along the way. Don't forget to bring plenty of water, sunscreen and money for lunch.
