Borrego Palm Canyon Trailhead & Parking

Great hike for the early Spring. Lots of wildlife and flowers. Easy hike with some river crossings and some rock climbing that could be hard for older or handicapped folks.

One of the best trails in the Anza Borrego SP. It is short, about 3 miles round trip, family friendly, full of beautiful surprises especially in winter. We hiked this trail with our two kids, they spend a lot time playing with the water and rocks. At the end of trail is the palm grove, they seem caught fire but still alive. The creek is full of water and mini waterfalls. I enjoyed this trail so much, highly recommend it.

Great hike! Really neat going deep into the canyon. The geology is more complex than initially thought or seems. Really cool. The alternative route is really special definitely recommend taking that route on way back. We Love this park it always amazes us.

There is a gift shop and snack bar at the parking lot. Adjacent to the parking is an ancient palm grove that has provided for the local native Americans for generations. Several hiking trails lead off into the desert and mountains.

Borrego Palm Canyon is a great trail to hike and see some great scenery, explore a canyon, and see a large oasis. The hike is about 3 miles round trip with a separate optional return trail that leads back to the parking lot. The trail follows a wash up the canyon with a great oasis as a reward as the end. A great trail to hike if visiting Anza Borrego State Park or Borrego Springs. Best to hike in the early morning on hotter days.
