The Anza-Borrego and Western Colorado Desert Region is a vast and intriguing land spanning much of San Diego County and parts of Riverside and Imperial Counties. From the first Native Americans through today's weekend vacationers, many people have called this desert home. The fascinating landscape harbor piney mountain crags, a windy inland sea, and a rich variety of desert plants and animals, all within two to three hours' travel time from major California cities. This new edition covers much more than previous editions, reaching deep into the Colorado Desert of Southern California, and drawing on the authors' more than 20 years experience of exploring every hillock and wash of Califronia's largest state park. While most described routes are on roads, good and bad, this unique book also takes the explorer to many, less-traveled secret places in wilderness areas. A guide for hikers, off-road travelers, equestrians, mountain bikers, photographers, and campers, this book includes: comprehensive road and trail logs, including UTM coordinates; a foldout backpocket map, plus area maps in the book; an expanded Desert Dictionary--a useful list of agencies, accommodations, and facilities in the region; and colorful historical anecdotes and lots of interpretive details.
