I like the desert and after a few packed and busy days in San Diego a trip to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in Southern California appealed. A couple hours’ drive east of San Diego, Anza-Borrego is part of the Colorado desert.
Although winter rains hadn’t triggered the wildflower bloom I’d hoped for the weather was cool enough to allow some nice walks as we explored parts of the park that were accessible in a rented car. Though the park is very big — almost 650,000 acres — we learned that most of it is reached by over 500 miles of dirt roads. Car rental agencies don’t look kindly on their vehicles bouncing along unpaved roads so our explorations were curtailed.
