Desert Gardens are a beautiful span of wildflower ridges located within the canyons of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, located near Coyote Canyon. The ridges are watered by runoff from Coyote Creek and are a popular tourist attraction and photo opportunity within the park, showcasing a wide variety of wildflower blossoms during the blooming season, including an annual "superbloom" of ocotillos and cacti in the region. Since 1971, the gardens have been protected by the Anza-Borrego Committee of the Desert Protective Council, who acquired the land from private owners for the purposes of preservation and conservation. Today, the canyon and gardens are easily accessible for visitors from the Alcoholic Pass Trail, which also offers spectacular views from atop the Coyote Mountain ridges.
