Activities in California's Secret Desert™

What's there to DO in California's Secret Desert™? Well, it all depends on what you have in mind.

Those seeking serious lounging will find appealing options at our hotels and resorts – have pool, will use it... No savvy Borregan will ever be found too far from a nice, cool, pool. And in winter, there's no better place to watch the sunset than from a nice, warm hot tub!

Hikers will go deliriously out into 900+ square miles of wilderness and near-wilderness, from desert wash to mountain peak. Casual walkers find numerous places to stroll or stride. Birders enjoy the many migratory species that pass through both the desert and the wetlands around the Salton Sea. Cyclists can test their skills on world-class hill climbs, tour a series of loop rides, or dawdle lazily along side streets among classic 50's ranch homes.

Even shoppers will find a few gems beyond the norm to explore. The lack of national chain stores means you may actually find something unexpected! Our local artists and galleries provide a colorful diversion for those seeking to peruse, with a growing number of galleries open to the public.

Is it Beverly Hills, Anaheim, Palm Springs, Paris, Tokyo, Rome?
No, it's California's Secret Desert™ – a place apart.
