Borrego, providing abundant
water for the productive farms,
swimming pools and an excel
lent l8-hole golf course.
The Borrego Valley sector of
the park has everything that
could be desired for a desert
holiday. Visitors explore by
horseback or jeep into the sur
rounding mountains, canyons
and badlands, or hunt for sea
shells, semi-precious gems and
Indian relics.
Guides take visitors to such
scenic spots as Palm Canyon,
where a stand of over 1000 of
the only palms native to the
continental United States grow
beside quiet pools, spring fed
from a stream rushing down
the narrow canyon; or to the
site of the elephant trees, with
their puffed trunks and bark
that resembles the flesh Of an
elephant.
One Of the most popular
trips from Borrego Springs is to
follow the Old ANA Trail up
Coyote Canyon. This is the trail
early Spanish explorers opened
in TITS en- route from Mexico
to Monterey.
Some Roads Rugged
Although many Of the road
ways in the ANA -Borrego

only for jeep or truck travel,
the area is traversed by several
routes for less rugged vehicles.
Camping and picnicking are
allowed along the 400 miles Of
travel routes which traverse the
park area. Excellent facilities
for campsites are available for
a nominal charge at several 10
cations within the park area
including Borrego Palm Can
