We were in Anza-Borrego Deserrt State Park this past week camping and hiking (we were also at the wildlife refuges on the south end of the Salton Sea). The temperatures were wonderfully warm, a contrast to the -12C temperatures at home. Our two main hikes were this one, through the Slot, a narrrow canyon in the badlands of Anza-Borrego, and a hike up into Hellhole Canyon in the mountains, shown in the inset. Both hikes were fabulous and hikes we had not done before.

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.
