Borrego Springs

Arrive

Less than two hours drive from San Diego or Palm Springs, three and a half from Los Angeles, and five from Phoenix or Las Vegas. An hour and a half from the Mexican border. Or fly yourself, direct to our local airport. You’ll discover a serene and peaceful valley. Real darkness. No noise. No store, hotel or restaurant chains. No crowds. No traffic – not even a traffic light. Now your secret adventure begins. Unique, it will be different each time you come. Dramatically different, subtly different. That’s what discovering secrets is all about!

Wonder

Broad expanses of open desert run right up to the feet of the ancient Santa Rosa, Vallecito, and San Ysidro mountains. Badlands and canyons weave and twist beneath ancient cliffs. Be amazed by timeless, open spaces, and by the absolute silence. By the wide variety of life this desert contains. Your first visit should be for two+ nights – later you’ll want to stay longer. It takes at least twenty-four hours to begin to accept the peace and quiet that pervade this village within a park. You could spend a lifetime here turning corners, opening doors, discovering secret after secret...

Enjoy

So many things to see and do! Walking here is a joy – without question, this is hikers’ and explorers’ heaven. Sign up for guided hikes, or go off on your own with map and guide book in hand. Cyclists can puff up and down slopes, tear along flats, or discover the park on 500 miles of back roads. Photo opportunities abound – from before dawn well into starry nights. Sign up with a leader to follow the flowers or go on a beginning bird walk. Visit a gallery, maybe shop a bit. Take a class, or attend a concert, play, or lecture. Discover and learn more about the geology and paleontology of this unique area. Try a desert tour with an experienced guide. Perhaps a round of golf with breathtaking views? Tennis, anyone?

Borrego Springs is the center of all this. The place to stay, rest, refresh, dine, re-supply, and gather with others. Surprisingly comfortable, with a surprising range of choices to meet your tastes and needs. Come share our secrets – you’ll soon be back for more!
