Description

Borrego Springs, or "The Desert," has been a favorite day trip destination for San Diegans for generations. After a stunning drive through boulder-riddled mountains, the world of Borrego Valley unfolds in front of you like a surprise gift. There's plenty to do here, from hiking to wildflower photography to off-road driving. You can also stay the night and watch the sky: some of the best stargazing in the country is located here. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection.
