A lot of the unpaved roads in the park are soft sand and it’s easy to get stuck.

The Domelands (in the Coyote Mountains) have a rocky benthic community with big gastropods & echinoderms. And definitely check out the Palm Canyon area near the Visitor’s Center (you don’t necessarily have to go to Palm Canyon itself). The bighorn sheep hang out around there and I’ve seen them every time I’ve been there.

Can you tell me exactly where in Anza-Borrego we can go to see the best stuff? Now that it’s spring break we want to go check it out.

Glad to see this instead, she has more musical ability then me.
