Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

Covering over half a million acres, this is the largest state park in the entire state of California. It is located in the Colorado Desert and features mountain ranges, rugged valleys, colorful badlands, and even several springs and oases. However, that is only a sample of the diverse landscapes. The park is also known for its wildflower fields, cactus-covered hills, and rocky slot canyons. There is a wealth of things to do here, from off-roading and wildlife viewing to celestial moonwalks and horseback riding. There are also hundreds of miles of trails for hiking or cycling, which allows you to explore the vast landscapes and ecosystems of this spectacular part of California.
