1st trip
john suggested a trip to anza borrego state park
he had done some research for two hikes on his wish list
we found a few other hikes that were near tamarisk grove campground
left early sunday morning and rolled into the park near borrego springs to buy a map at the visitor center
our first hike was up hellhole canyon, with the intent of finding maidenhair falls
since there was no water running, we overshot the falls on some animal trails featuring plenty of catclaw
we backtracked to a likely spot, then returned
sandy path for a mile and a half, then a mile or so of rocky uphill to the palms
this would be better done when water is running
next up we went into borrego palms campground to check in and hiked the borrego palms canyon trail
scenic hike up a canyon to a palm grove
we took the alternate trail on the return
drove to the campground and found our cabin, then decided to hike the bill kenyon overlook trail in hopes of cell service
nice little viewpoint
we finished just as it was getting dark
nice enough campground with non-potable running water and showers
cabins do not have heat or electric, but kept temps warmer than tent camping
good first day sample of this very large park
