An Oasis in Anza-Borrego Desert Park




Waiting to stretch your legs and fill-up your lungs with fresh air?

Go to Anza-Borrego Desert. Then? Camp there for at least one night.

The weather clock was kind to us. We pitched a tent and setup a bonfire . Under the starry sky, everyone counted stars and relaxed over a glass of wine. And, let me not forget, enjoy some excellent grills -- coyotes like meaty grills, just FYI ;-)

Best part of camping is to go on a hike. By the way, the name "Anza Borrego" comes from its Spanish explorer, Juan Bautista de Anza, and the Spanish word for "bighorn sheep", borrego. Most people go to the park to enjoy its hiking trails draped around its sweeping rocky landscape, and wildlife and blooming flowers (if there is enough rain during the winter...) If the season is right, you will find some bighorn sheep trudging over sides of the mountains, proudly claiming their land!

Hurray!
