This pic is from a few weeks ago when we were out looking for wildflowers in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area. We had just turned off of the 78 onto Buttes Pass Road that goes to The Slot and Hawk Canyon.

This pic shows a closeup of a beavertail cactus flower from Desert Garden in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (on the way to Coyote Canyon). Photo credit goes to Jack Springer who was with me on this outing.

Over this past weekend I camped at Sheep Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park with a great group of folks. This pic shows our campsite with a view of a palm oasis on the mountain behind. The campsite was next to a stream which actually had some flowing water in it! Didn’t get to hike up to the oasis on this trip but definitely want to come back and get a closer view.
As a Jeep enthusiast, I couldn’t resist posting this Ricardo Breceda sculpture that is located in Borrego Springs. Just remember to “tread lightly”.
If desert riding is your thing, look no further than Ocotillo Wells Vehicular Recreation Area which is adjacent to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. It offers 85,000 acres of varied terrain to explore on two or four wheels. Open camping is available throughout the park and no fees are collected for camping or day use. But ya gotta love dirt!!!
