Anza-Borrego: Camping

Our second camping trip, this time to Anza-Borrego's Culp Valley. And with a new tent, this time! Thanks REI, for the big coupon! We also scored new hiking boots at the REI Garage Sale, so trekking around in the desert was much more comfy than all of our other times. 

Anza-Borrego: Rocks and Boulders

One of my very favorite parts of the desert wilderness has to be the piles of rocks. Boulders and rocks that just beg to be played on. Anza-Borrego has no shortage of these piles and boulders.

Our first day there, we drove down a random little dirt road and found the first set of rocks to wander around on.

Anza-Borrego: Roadways and Hillsides

We left our camp and drove down the big hills of S22, a very steep and winding road that goes to the desert floor of Borrego Springs. A gorgeous drive, to say the least.

Anza-Borrego: Plant Life

We enjoyed a weekend adventure down at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. We arrived, pitched our camp, and headed out to explore. A winding road took us down from our high desert camp to the very warm desert below. Along the way, we saw so many variations of plant life. From blooming bright pink cacti, to pretty little yellow flowers growing on rocks, to scraggly little bushes that have their own special kind of "pretty". This terrain is so unique. Here are a few photos from our trek around the area and the plant life that we stumbled upon along the way.
