SUMMARY:Hike: Bitter Creek Spring and Maybe Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Trip Leaders: Tom Keffer and Lee Christie\, ABDNHA Volunteers \nJoin us on this moderate hike to Bitter Creek Spring—one of Anza-Borrego’s few year-round springs—tucked in remote Grapevine Canyon. This tiny spring often attracts birds and wildlife\, and we may spot desert blooms. The final climb to the spring is steep. If time allows\, we may continue past the spring. 4 mi RT\, 400’ vertical. The sandy\, two-mile access road is not suitable for passenger cars\, but OK for modest SUVs. Meet in the ABDNHA parking lot by 7:50 a.m. Bring lunch/snacks and water. No charge. Call or visit the Nature Center at 760-767-3098 to reserve. Max 10.

SUMMARY:Hike: Aggregate Cave
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Robin Halford\, ABDNHA Volunteer \nThis fairly strenuous 6.6-mile hike is in the Mecca Wilderness and Chuckwalla National Monument.

Bring a flashlight or use your cell phone light if you need illumination to negotiate a short\, strenuous section of the cave. The washes may have soft sand and possibly bouldering in the slot. No charge. To register\, call or visit the Nature Center at 760-767-3098.\n\nMeeting place: From Borrego Springs\, drive north on Hwy 86\, then right (east) onto Ave 66.
