Another photo of The Slot from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southern California - hiked by my wife and I this past January.

This is another photo from one of our hikes in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southern California. The hike was only a couple of miles but took us through this narrow canyon where in places we had to turn sideways to get through and in others scramble or climb a bit.

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.
