Anza Borrego has been on my list for quite a number of years. A good winter destination. We drove from Phoenix through the Mecca Hills, by the Salton Sea, and west to Anza.
Following a stop at the visitor center for a map, Hellhole Canyon was our first hike. Easy going up to some palm groves and on to a dry waterfall which we over-shot by 4/10 mile. After fighting our way back through the boulders and catclaw, we got back on the worn path and the nice grade downhill to the car.
Next up was Borrego Palm Canyon Trail. A bit more scenic than Hellhole. Nice hike.
Our final hike was Kenyon Overlook. Short scenic trail where we were able to get cell phone service to help plan the next day's hike. Good first day at California's largest state park!
