Today we decided to take a rest from hiking and do some exploring. Off we went with not a real destination in mind but loaded up with maps, GPS, food, water, etc. and headed towards Arroyo Salado Palm Oasis. We headed out Highway 22 east to mile marker 38.4 and

Another beautiful day in Anza Borrego so another day to go on a long hike. We choose Wilson Trail, a “moderate” hike we have had our eye on for several years but there just never seemed to be enough time. Wilson Trail follows Pinyon Ridge for about 4.5 miles which
