Anza-Borrego North: Ocotillo Flat

For horsemen, Ocotillo Flat is the first big area to ride through after leaving the Vern Whitaker Horse Camp. For anyone with an interest in wildflowers, it's where the last flowers of the desert spring can be be found, especially the Ocotillo. You may also find it of interest to explore the inlets to the Coyote Mountain ridge and look for evidence of Indian occupation of the area and also for Ash Wash.

From Borrego Springs, going north on DiGiorgio Road and the Coyote Canyon Jeep Trail, Ocotillo Flat is the Ocotillo forest just past Desert Gardens.
