Super fun. These statues are huge. It was an adventure just finding them as they are all over and on different roads.

The sculptures are amazing. The amount of detail is incredible. The road getting there is rough at times. But absolutely worth the drive. The serpent alone is worth the drive. And it's free

Went in the evening to get some cool sunset shots. It was 105 degrees at 7:30pm. About 1 hr 45m from SD. But once you get there, it’s fun to see all the art work spread out. We didn’t find all of them

How did Galleto sculptures come about

Valeri Baker | Aug 26, 2019
Kurt Lemke | Aug 26, 2019

Per the Desertusa website The late Dennis Avery, land owner of Galleta Meadows Estates in Borrego Springs envisioned the idea of adding 'free standing art' to his property with original steel welded sculptures created by 'Perris Jurassic Park' owner/artist/welder Ricardo Breceda based in Perris, California. There are over 130 metal sculptures located in Borrego Springs. Read more: https://www.desertusa.com/borrego/bs-art.html#ixzz5nN58aRu4

Swee Pea's Corner | Aug 26, 2019

I dont know but the sculptures are pretty much on the side of the road and in the open desert. If I had to guess, i would say yes, just keep them on a dog leash and you should be okay.
