Great easy hike (although a bit long for kids)! All you see is desert and then all the sudden you come across the oasis. It’s amazing!

Wonderful spot right in the heart of Anza Borrego! So amazing to see snow in the desert and the bighorn sheep of course ❤️

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.

This is an amazing place! Easy 1.5 to there hike, a little rocky at some spots but nothing crazy. Parking, bathrooms, water, pickinick tables for after the hike. You are rewarded with amazing views and natire. The Bighorn sheep! And camping! Can't say enough and cant wait to get back and do a little camping!

Questions & Answers

Is it allowed to walk in the water?

If you mean can you walk up the stream to the oasis, no. The oasis is closed since it's still recovering from a fire in 2020. There are signs. The trail leads to an overlook across from the oasis.

Unfortunately not stroller friendly, but I hiked it with a baby carrier. My daughter loved it.
