ANZA-BORREGO SOUTH : ROADS Army Stagecoach Road
The first pathways across the Jacumba Mountains were Indian routes such as
the one from Carrizo Gorge to Mountain Springs. When California became a United
States territory, the Army garrison at San Diego used this route.
Today it makes for a nice hike or drive (4WD), if a little steep on the east
end. The views of the desert are lovely.

The Army-Stagecoach road goes east to the steep drop to the Peter Larkin
stagecoach station at Mountain Springs at the edge of the mountains. A longer
and easier loop northward loop trail can also be taken. It is also possible
to find westward trails.
