Review:
Hiking through Sheep Canyon in the spectacularly beautiful Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is going to test your stamina, but the breathtaking beauty of the waterfalls at the end of the trail make it more than worthwhile. Starting at the Sheep Canyon campground, you will be walking, and often climbing, large boulders, rough dense prickly desert plants, losing the trail and jumping over the stream, and often climbing the side of the canyon to avoid obstacles. After about 3 miles of rough going, and gaining more than 1000 feet in elevation, you will arrive at a true desert oasis, with a totally unexpectedly series of lush waterfalls with clear water rushing over smooth rocks into deep cool pools surrounded by ferns and other verdant vegetation.
