Borrego Springs Night Sky Details

Imagine staring up at the night sky and seeing millions of twinkling stars and colorful ribbons of far-off galaxies. At the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, you can do just that. There are very few lights in the area, which creates prime star-gazing opportunities. Spring is the best time to see the milky way (it is visible in the early evening before the sky becomes pitch black), while winter is better for spotting constellations and stars.
