RHH's photos with the keyword: palms

These California Fan Palms were photographed in Hellhole Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. We were hiking to Maidenhair Falls when the photo was taken.

The area around the Salton Sea is all irrigated desert farmland, mile after mile of crops. This photo was taken south of the sea near the town of Westmoreland. Even the palm trees, in this case non-native, are few. The crop growing the field beyond the palm trees, if I remember, was Swiss Chard.

One of our hikes in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park this past week was up into Hellhole Canyon in the San Ysidro Mountains of southern California. The canyon is noted for its palm trees, the native California Fan Palm. We hiked and scrambled our way to Maidenhair Falls which were dry.
