We drove to Borrego Springs under a spectacular, partly-cloudy sky, in dramatic lighting, and a breezy, but comfortable, 65 degrees. The conditions dramatize the surrounding craggy mountains, and alluvial fan on which Borrego Springs sits.
The Palo Verde trees seem especially beautiful this year - with their pale green bark, and vibrant yellow sprays of flowers. We've also seen Ocotillo, Beavertail, Indigo Bush, Brittlebush, Englemann Hedgehog, Cholla, Sand Verbena, and Desert Primrose. The Prickly Pear is close to blooming.
We visited the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center for information, checked into the hotel, and then discussed plans for tomorrow's adventures over dinner at Carmelita' Mexican Grill.
