Anza Borrego Desert
Anza Borrego is located in the southern part of California, which is characterized by a desert. This area, located about two hours from San Diego, is a national park, which ranks as the second largest among the reserves of the United States. The area of Anza Borrego is approximately 2,400 km2. It is a monotonous desert.
The local valleys are surrounded by mountainous terrain, the cliffs of which, in some places, reach 1,621 meters (peak of Mount Blair). Without knowing anything about this neighborhood, you may not even guess what this nondescript, at first glance, territory can attract thousands of tourists who come here every year.
And the whole reason for the popularity of the national park is that in early spring, after the rainy season, a real miracle happens here. The entire lifeless territory is covered with the unusual beauty of multicolored flowers, of which there are countless. This sight simply cannot be conveyed in words. At this time, there is no place on the sand where desert lilies, primroses, and sand verbenas would not bloom. The foothills of the mountains are decorated with okotiyo flowers, as well as a variety of cacti. There is also diversity high in the mountains, with yucca and agave blooming here at this time.
But, unfortunately, this beauty, on the territory of the Anza Borrego Park, is not durable. That is why many tourists, who have heard about the indescribable beauty, as well as various photographers and researchers, are in a hurry to get here.
Anza Borrego National Park has the properties of not blooming every year. It all depends on the weather, because the main thing in this business is rainy winters. But next year, after a period of non-flowering, the desert will surely burst into colors of various colors, and every centimeter of loose sand will turn into a gorgeous carpet of vegetation.
In Borrego Springs, which is the main city of the Anza Borrego National Park, you can use the services of a guide. When planning an excursion to this wonderful region, do not forget to bring a camera with you, the pictures from which will be proof that the desert has the property of reincarnation.
