Go after a rainy winter, in February for the most dazzling wildflower display. Stay in the park or drive in from San Diego or Palm Springs area.

This would be a great place to base from to do some hiking around. It seemed like a nice open space with services, which not all state parks have.

The park is lovely. We were disappointed at how few wildflowers were out, but there hadn't been much rain and that's nature for you! We walked up to Palm Canyon. It was a lovely walk but a bit too busy for us. We like to feel out in the wilds, bit selfish, but we like the peace and quiet. The... More

You can't help but loving this place, coming from a flat land like New Jersey..... This was our third visit to the desert. We had the pleasure of taking a field trip with Aaron Dennis (Jeep Photo/Adventures). Aaron took us to the Slot Canyon and Wind caves in the so called badlands of the desert. He met us in Borrego...

Anzac Borrego State Park is only about a 45 minute drive from the Palm Springs area. The drive through the park has wonder vistas and the wild flowers are in bloom in March. The town of Borrego Springs has over 100 metal sculptures called Sky Art. It is something to see. There are lots of hiking opportunities at the park.

Hiking is good in the cool of the morning.It's too hot to hike in June- Sept. however. Very nice for snow birds in the winter as the.temps are... More

Be sure to take the Palm Canyon trail to the ancient oasis. You can catch the trail at the end of the campgrounds adjacent to park headquarters. Along the three-mile loop, you will walk along the desert floor and succulents, before climbing up and down rocks to vast walls of boulders where the endangered Bighorn Sheep abound. We never expected... More

Stayed at friend's beautiful house in small town of Borrego Springs. Quiet and relaxing, lots of birds. Saw the giant metal sculptures in the desert - amazing.
