Itinerary description


More Anza Borrego Hiking


Slots and lots of canyons.

Hike downhill on the Calcite mine road.
In the wash hike (or drive, AWD only) left in the wash.
The canyon narrows in some pretty slot canyons.
Looks a bit like the Utah canyons, except for the coloring.

Explore every fork and don't forget the smaller forks.

You can make this hike easy of more challenging, depending on where you go.
Knock yourself out.
