A Moderate Palm Canyon Hike at the Borrego Desert

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Gold DRE #00697006

This is an excellent example of tectonic plate thrusts in Anza Borrego State Park, and you will find this scene shortly after passing the trailhead for the Palm Canyon Hike. It's a 3-mile hike roundtrip. But much of it is not on a flat sandy path. The path is narrow in some places. In others, it vanishes, forcing you to look for footprints on smooth stone to find your way.

You will also, if you are lucky like we were, spot Big Horn sheep on the ridges. Entire families of Big Horn sheep peeking down at you. Plus we saw costa hummingbirds and more sphinx moth caterpillars, along with a wide assortment of beautiful desert wildflowers in bloom for as far as the eye can see.

Please feel free to read more in my personal blog and see about 20 photos at this link: Photos of Palm Canyon Hike at Anza Borrego.

Great photos, Elizabeth. I'd say your trip to Anza Borrego SP eased any regret you had about leave Hawaii for a while.

Good morning, Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents that's an activity I know Brian England would love to participate in.... for me, not so much.... I prefer the gym.... the only climbing I do is on the ladder to reach the high bar for a "dead hang"....

Amazing pictures, Elizabeth.  I'm especially fond of the photo of the Big Horn Sheep, and the one beneath it with the palms.
