Caption: After turning off the 78 in Anza-Borrego onto Borrego Mountain Wash, you drive past stuff like this for a few minutes until you reach a ranger booth. Buy a day use pass for $10 and you’re in for some surreal slot canyon goodness ✨

Caption: This is a great hike even midday because it’s actually shady and cool even when it’s an inferno out in the sun.

Caption: This is probably the coolest feature, which you hit about 3/4 of the way through.

Caption: It’s a pretty short hike. Even if you’re stopping to take pictures, you’ll be at the end in less than 30, so the whole thing will be under an hour. I wouldn’t call it strenuous, but there are some tight squeezes and uneven ground to be aware of. All said, this hike is super unique for the area and definitely worthwhile for anyone who hasn’t experienced slot canyons before ✨
