ANZA-BORREGO NORTH

The northern part of Anza-Borrego extends from north of Borrego Springs up Coyote Canyon to Anza in Riverside County, then east and southeast across the Santa Rosa Mountains almost to Highway 86 and the Salton Sea.

Compared to the lower end of the Salton Sea, which is 200 feet below sea level, this is high country where trailheads start at under 1,000 feet above sea level.

As you move toward the mountains to the west and north, you move from the desert to life zones as higher elevations, including pinyon-juniper woodland and chaparral
Anza-Borrego North offers abundant opportunities for driving and hiking. You may focus on such subjects as native Americans, botany, wildlife, geology (including paleontology), or history.
