Central Anza-Borrego: Elephant Trees Nature Area

In the spring wildflower season, the Elephant Tree Nature Trail can be a good place to visit for the number of different species you'll see in bloom. There is only on Elephant Tree on the trail, and it likely won't be in flower or fruit when the spring wildflowers are. Nevertheless, see if you can catch the fragrance of the tree's branches.
