Surrounded by rugged wind-chiseled mountains, the Anza Borrego Desert State Park welcomes visitors to come and experience life in an area of exceptional natural beauty. You are advised to start your tour at the Visitor’s Center where you can watch a 15-minute orientation video and view some interesting exhibits. To properly appreciate this unique landscape you need to linger for a few days – the park offers a variety of camping opportunities including a serviced campsite for RVs and trailers and primitive back-country camp sites. Experienced hikers will find some seriously challenging trails to explore while families can enjoy shorter family-friendly hikes. Regular Behind-the –Scenes archaeological tours are available – check the website for more info.
