Scenic Drive : Montezuma Grade.  It is less than 15 miles from Borrego Springs to the small community of Ranchita following Highway S-22.  But you gain 3400 feet in elevation and pass through several different climate zones along the way.  The drive is actually most spectacular heading west, from Ranchita down to Borrego Springs.  The scenery is spectacular, with massive rock formations, rugged canyons, and a view of the Salton Sea.  The road is good, but keep your eyes on the road; there are many twists and turns along this route.

Scenic Drive : Fonts Point  Fonts point offers an incredible vista across the Borrego Badlands, an area of layered sediments from ancient streams deposited during the last 600,000 years and much older deposits, as old as four million years, from the ancestral Colorado River.  4 wheel drive is strongly recommended for the four miles of off-highway driving that lead to Fonts Point.  The route is not steep but there are sections of soft sand.

Scenic Drive : Erosion Road.  If you are interested in geology stop by the ABDNHA Nature Center, one block west of Christmas Circle, to pick up your free copy of this self-guiding brochure, as well as the brochure to the Narrows Earth Trail.   The Erosion road brochure will lead you on a self-guided auto tour along the Borrego-Salton Seaway, one of the most fascinating landscapes in the Anza-Borrego Desert.
