- California's largest state park — 600,000 acres of badlands, palm oases, and superbloom country
- More
- Named for the 1774 Anza expedition and the bighorn (borrego) that still watch from the ridges, it's the largest state park in the contiguous-US system — with 500 miles of dirt roads, slot canyons, palm-oasis pupfish, and Ricardo Breceda's roadside metal dragons. Superbloom years crash the town of Borrego Springs; summer heat is Death Valley-serious.
