‪While at Anzo-Borrego we walked through the very well laid out Desert Garden & viewed the many different varieties / species of desert plants. Saw Cholla cacti, Beavertail cacti, Prickley Pear cacti, Agave, desert dandelion, desert sunflower, Lupine, evening Primrose, desert trees + a Dove, Crows & a Hummingbird - plus lots more. Don’t miss it. Enjoy!‬

‪Beautiful Ocotillos‬

العائلة • أبريل 2017

‪We were so thankful to the "Superbloom" because it gave us a chance to know about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Although we had visited few others desert parks in California like Death Valley National Park and Joshua Tree National Park, and of course many desert parks in Utah and Arizona, Anza-Borrego impressed us still. Maybe because we visited at the time when every plant was blooming and the weather was mild, thus Anza-Borrego became much more pretty and enjoyable in our eyes.

Desert Garden is at the northern part of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. We had quite a good view of the valley below by hiking up the hills. It was great walking among the beautiful ocotillos and cacti, enjoying the flowers and spying for animals. Since the areas can only be reached by driving the dirt road, not many visitors ventured deep into and we could enjoy the nature almost by ourselves. It was really peaceful and relaxed. When flowers bloom, especially the brightly red ocotillos and the purple/green/red/chocolate cacti, the normally dull desert park seems to be livelier and full of life.‬

‪Fun drive, but underwhelming‬

العائلة • أبريل 2017

‪The drive was fun, and the red ocatillo were lovely this year. We didn't have a four wheel drive, but made it ok with our Toyota 4 runner. Once you get to the Desert Garden, it has a few picnic tables to have a nice view with lunch, but the same desert foliage as you see on the drive. A bit lackluster.‬

‪wildflowers‬

‪We spent the day in Borrego Springs. We drove all through the valley and the desert gardens. We were in a 4 wheel drive truck but most of the people we doing fine with 2 wheel drive cars. Highly recommend this area while the flowers last.‬

‪Just in time‬

مارس 2017

‪Visited the desert flowers at about the best time of the year. Got a map of all the metal statues and could drive right up to them for photos. Brought a picnic lunch and ate at Christmas Circle (where the public restrooms are). Long drive from San Diego, but seeing the Daffodils in bloom in Julian was a treat.‬

‪Came here to check out the desert blooms in Anza Borrego State Park and someone in Borrego Springs suggested coming here as well? There's a lot to do in this area. ‬

‪Nice Plants‬

زوجان • مارس 2017

‪We enjoyed looking at the plants and wanted to buy one, but the young man working there knew nothing about plants and they weren't labeled. A real bummer for us plant lovers.‬

‪Great Wildflowers‬

زوجان • مارس 2017

‪This year the wildflowers are particularly good. The road is sand, mostly packed and easy for regular cars (SUV not required). ‬

‪Quiet Spot‬

بمفردك • فبراير 2017

‪This is a lovely spot to sit and have something to eat or watch the birds and animals go by. In the winter, the ocotillo turns very green and you sometimes will see their red tips. On their stems, you might find a small bird picking off insects. There's a bench at the top of a small hill where you can overlook the whole canyon.

The only drawback is that it's mostly accessible to those with 4-wheel drive and sometimes high clearance is needed. Parts of the road can either be extremely rocky/rutted or covered with very deep sand. However, once in a while, a passenger vehicle can make its way down the road.‬
