Itinerary description

More Anza Borrego Hiking

A beautiful canyon with a marked trail, most of the way.

The frequently hiked trail, is well marked with rock cairns and crosses some rocky terrain, following the sandy washes.

The hike is easy, close to point "fork" the hike gets moderate.

The left fork is narrow and more interesting to hike in.
We stopped at point "boulders", where a dry fall and boulders block the way.
I checked it further on and it's no problem hiking further.
But this is only for a short while and the boulders are getting way more frequent.
In other words a nice turning point.

On your way back you may choose to hike a bit cross country, more on the other side of the wash.
To spot some different flowers in less hiked places.
But only in the flower season. February - April.

How to get here:

At the end of the Henderson Canyon Road, take the dirt road that leads through a gate.
Signed "right of passage"

This is a good dirt road with some rocks. Any car should be able to make it most of the way.
You may need some ground clearance.
