5. Slot Canyon Borrego Springs
6. Coyote Canyon Borrego Springs
Coyote attacks on humans are uncommon and rarely cause serious injuries, mainly due to the relatively small size of the coyote, but have been increasingly frequent, especially in the state of California. In the 30 years leading up to March 2006, at least 160 attacks occurred in the United States, mostly in the Los Angeles County area. Data from the USDA's Wildlife Services, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other sources show that while 41 attacks occurred during the period of 1988–1997, 48 attacks were verified from 1998 through 2003. The majority of these incidents occurred in Southern California near the suburban-wildland interface.In the absence of the harassment of coyotes practiced by rural people, urban coyotes are losing their fear of humans, which is further wo...

7. Ghost Mountain Borrego Springs
Calico is a ghost town and former mining town in San Bernardino County, California, United States. Located in the Calico Mountains of the Mojave Desert region of Southern California, it was founded in 1881 as a silver mining town, and today has been converted into a county park named Calico Ghost Town. Located off Interstate 15, it lies 3 miles from Barstow and 3 miles from Yermo. Giant letters spelling CALICO can be seen on the Calico Peaks behind the ghost town from the freeway. Walter Knott purchased Calico in the 1950s, architecturally restoring all but the five remaining original buildings to look as they did in the 1880s. Calico received California Historical Landmark #782, and in 2005 was proclaimed by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to be California's Silver Rush Ghost Town.

15. Bike Borrego Borrego Springs
A trail is usually a path, track or unpaved lane or road. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland path or footpath is the preferred term for a walking trail. The term is also applied, in North America, to routes along rivers, and sometimes to highways. In the US, the term was historically used for a route into or through wild territory used by emigrants . Some trails are single use and can only be used for walking, cycling, horse riding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing; others, as in the case of a bridleway in the UK, are multi-use, and can be used by walkers, cyclists and equestrians. There are also unpaved trails used by dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles and in some places, like the Alps, trails are used for moving cattle and other livestock.

ROAD TRIP: California's Beautiful Deserts

A Road Trip through the California Deserts

Stops include the Alabama Hills, Death Valley, Mojave Desert, and Joshua Tree.

We start off leaving LA bound for the Alabama Hills, which is a famous location for shooting movies and old Western flicks in California. I haven't watched a movie outside of a plane flight for 5 years so I was more interested in the arches!

From there I made my way to Death Valley and caught the sunset at the Artist's Palette, followed by the sunrise at Zabriskie Point and a hike through the Golden Canyon, followed by stargazing at the salt flats in the Badwater Basin.

Next I made my way to the Mojave National Preserve to check out the lava caves and climb up the Kelso dunes. This is the largest protected area in the US with more Joshua trees than Joshua Tree itself! Next I hiked the Amboy Crater with Jessica Dacey with the Mojave Desert Land Trust to who shared some helpful info about taking care of the fragile desert as hikers and campers.

Finally, I finished at Joshua tree with an epic sunset.

If you want to visit all the deserts, I highly recommend checking out the Anza Borrego desert as well!

El Camino Real is a road in California that connects the 21 Spanish California missions that were established in the state. These are some of the oldest buildings and landmarks in California, which makes them interesting to visit even though they have become polarizing.

Desert Sands was the first RV Park opened in Borrego Springs. The year was 1960, and all the palm trees were purchased for 10 cents each in small buckets. Needless to say, all of our landscaping is now fully mature and beautiful. Desert Sands Vintage RV Park has been featured as part of the Annual Borrego Garden Tour. We find that many of our transient visitors end up making our park their winter home. The quiet and peaceful surroundings of California’s largest State Park, insure very slow growth. The fact that Borrego still is without a stop light speaks volumes about our community. If you’re looking for a town that has a Starbucks, Walmart and big name stores this is not the place but if you are looking for a place where your life will slowdown and you’ll feel totally relaxed, this is Borrego Springs! At a certain age, one has to decide if they want to haul or drive that large rig another year. Why not find a place you like and park it for the season or for the year or for the future. We have kept our annual rates low enough to interest our visitors in becoming more permanent in our park. For what most parks charge for the season, we can offer space for the year. There is something attractive about knowing you have a steady space that is yours year around. A space you can attractively customize and take pride in. A piece of heaven right here in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park.

The weather in Borrego Springs is some of the best around. For only two months of the year on average, we dip into the high sixties during the day, take a look – Borrego Springs Weather

If you are looking for a quiet, friendly vintage RV Park please give us a try. We have 70 permanent sites. There is a heated pool and Jacuzzi, laundry room, showers and clubhouse inside an old vintage trailer with a slide out with free WiFi. Our park is a short walk from both the Anza Borrego Park Headquarters and into town. Many of our tenants are weekenders from San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, that have fallen in love with our small friendly town and the beautiful Anza Borrego Desert. We also have a growing group of “resident snowbirds” from the great Northwest and Canada. We are the best value in Borrego Springs! Please come visit us and take a drive through the park and view the many cool vintage trailers. Area activities include tennis across the road, street and mountain biking, off roading, hiking, wine tasting, star gazing, golfing, horseback riding and much more. Our Vintage Park is constantly working on bringing back the 50’s-60’s early travel trailer identity. If you own a vintage trailer and are looking for a peaceful desert location please contact us. Next time you visit Borrego, please stop by and let us show you some of our options. We know you will be glad you did so.
