Anzo-Borrego State Park

We visited the Anzo-Borrego State Park visitor center in Borrego Springs with Dan and Barbara.

Anzo-Borrego is a desert state park consisting of 600,000 acres around the town of Borrego Springs where we are staying at a nice RV park for a few days. The name of the park is generated from two sources. Anzo was the Spanish explorer who first transited this area as he took cattle and immigrants to the San Francisco area to settle there. Borrego is the name for the Big Horn sheep found in the area.

The center is built partially underground and has a number of exhibits showing the desert flora and fauna as well as the creatures that live there.

There is a number of walking trails in the immediate area of the center and they have markers to identify the various species of fauna found in the desert.

Here they collared me to make sure I got into the picture!

The entire center reminded us of the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA.
