Anza-Borrego Desert day trip
November 6, 20264 min read
Anza-Borrego is California's largest state park, and fall through spring is the time to visit.
Why go
Desert canyons, giant metal sculptures near Borrego Springs, and some of the darkest night skies in Southern California.
Getting there
It is roughly a two-hour drive from El Cajon through the mountains — make a full day of it.
Be prepared
- Bring plenty of water and a full tank of gas.
- Cell service can be spotty.
- Check the state park website for conditions.
