Anza-Borrego North: Henderson Canyon

henderson canyon desert wildflowers

This canyon is rugged, and it may be tricky to find your car once you leave it, but there is much to recommend it. It's a good place to look for spring wildflowers. It's a good place to look at the granite mountains. There are fine views of the Borrego Valley, and, with a little luck, you may spot a Peninsular Bighorn Sheep or two.

Getting to Henderson Canyon. From Christmas Circle in Borrego Springs, go north on Borrego Springs Road to its end at Henderson Vallley Road. Continue north onto a dirt road and follow it as it turns left toward the San Ysidro Mountains.
