California's Secret Desert™ – Borrego Springs

Relaxing is not to be approached lightly. California's Secret Desert™ provides some ideal conditions for serious relaxation. Our town is populated and visited by quite a few professional relaxers as a result.

First thing, it’s quiet – really quiet. Think no freeway hum, no helicopters, very little trafic. The time to experience it best is in the evening twilight, when the birds are quiet and the air is still. And the people are quiet, too. Life just isn't very intense here, low-key, and visitors tune into that right away.

Second thing, it’s dark at night. When there's no moon, it's pitch black, with very little light pollution in our valley. The sky is filled with stars and planets, and when the moon is up, well, you just have to see it. Because of this, people always rest very well here. It surprises most first-time visitors.

And let’s not forget the warm, sunny days. The desert air and sunlight are different in a way that most people find uniquely invigorating and relaxing. So come visit for a couple of nights – conditions are perfect!
