Anza Borrego

We’ve been spending a lot of time in the desert and for good reason. Inspiring rock formations and textured terrain fill the landscape. This State Park is about an hour and 15 minutes south of Palm Springs, Ca. It’s a park that is not talked about enough. Sure the heat can be tough, but it was worth it. There are pictographs, caves and unforgettable sunsets. We drove down winding roads and walked along deep canyons. Wind gusts picked up the desert sand so at times we had to put on our Bradly Mountain and Roark bandanas. The Badlands took our breath away filled with arid rocky geography. We scoured the area and found much more than what we were looking for. Not far from Anza Borrego is an abandoned resort in Salton Sea called Bombay Beach that is referred to as the “Last Resort”. Once a popular vacation destination is now sitting empty due to the high salt levels of the lake. It’s got an eery feeling, all that is left are crumbling buildings along with artwork that visitors construct. With so much more to see we will be back.
