This easy hike is a 5 minute drive from Pala Casino off of Hwy 76…read more We spent about an hour and a half on the trails, which included stopping a few times for photos and views. Other than one slight elevation, it was all flat, wide trails. NOTE: $5 FEE. Highlights: A pond, elevated views of the surrounding area, shrubs, trees, cacti, a few flowers, museum (which wasn't open when we went). PROS: ~Plenty of parking on site (go through the gates) ~Porta potties on site. A couple in the parking lot and a couple on the trails. The one I used was clean and didn't smell. Antibacterial gel and toilet paper provided. No sink. ~Picnic benches available, although most were not in the shade. Trash and recycling containers provided. ~Most trails were wide and flat. There was one part where we walked up an elevation which provided views of the surrounding area. ~A few benches were available on the trail. ~Well sign-posted from the road. ~There was a caretaker on site, keeping everything well maintained. ~It wasn't busy when we went in May 2026. We saw about 5 other people. CONS: ~$5 entry fee (May 2026) ~The museum wasn't open when we were there. We walked by twice. I felt for our $5 we should have had entry to the museum. ~Somewhat underwhelming, but easy and well maintained. MAKE A DAY OF IT We stopped in at the nearby Pala Casino afterwards and dropped in at a winery on the way home. See my photos for more details.

So last week was my second time to this spot. I enjoyed it the first time that I asked my friend…read moreto join me again for another leisurely hike/walk. There is a small fee of $3 to park and enjoy a walk or hike. Each time of our visit it seemed like they were maintaining certain areas. This spot is located right off the main road of Pala, which you must give a enough time to give the driver behind you with a warning brake and use your signal. This turn will sneak up on you as you are coming downhill at a decent speed. I like this area because it is not too far from where I live and it has a lot of nature habitat that I feel like I am deep in a canyon. You can make this a leisure walk or a moderate hike by taking a different trail. There is a small pond nearby and a couple of benches to sit and enjoy the pond. While on this walk we watched a healthy coyote roam the area. We didn't feel threatened by it. We opted to head up the hill which we managed much better than my first time. There are areas that have soft soil/sand. We didn't come across any snakes, but I see a Yelper had encountered one. We are in their territory. During our walk at mid morning there was a constant breeze, that was a plus. There is a porta potty available if needed. During our first visit rangers were driving the roads periodically, which this time we didn't seen anyone driving in the area. I hope to do another leisure walk or hike here again soon. Come check it out! Be cautious turning into the entrance and also exiting the Preserve.

Come and enjoy and respect this beautiful gem at Borrego for our children and the community. They have an outdoor fitness system, tennis courts, a basketball court, volleyball field and and an enclosed off-leash dog park and of course a big beautiful playground. You can access the restrooms right behind the sheriff's building. The library is just right across one of the parking lots. Don't litter! Thank you Borrego Springs my children enjoyed it so much.

Borrego Springs is a small desert town between the Salton Sea and Anza Borrego State Park…read more Anza borrego is the State of Cali's largest state park and is part of San Diego County (not Imperial Co.). There is one major street with various merchants like a cafe, art gallery, liquor store, museum/cultural center, parks, palm trees and all kinds of churches. Also visible are some golf courses and tennis courts. No stop lights or street lights. Astronomy is a big deal here hence the darkness. Bit too polluted/windy for a crazy night sky. On other occassions the night sky is killer like in joshua tree. Hot and nasty though. Sorry. No night sky pics with my canon this time around. The 2010 census claims 3500 ish peeps. Locals are super friendly, and will wave, greet or hold the door open. Numerous festivals are held year round like art festivals or walking events. Great spot to visit!!!

When she finally did show up, she acted like serving us was a massive inconvenience. No smile, no "be right with you," just a total lack of professionalism. ​To make matters worse: ​The Order: never brought back change ​The Wait: We had to flag down other staff members just to get water because she never checked back on us once. ​The Bill: She was incredibly quick to bring the check, but nowhere to be found when we actually needed service throughout the afternoon. ​For the prices Harrah's charges for poolside service and cabanas, you expect at least a baseline of courtesy. Madison was dismissive and rude. Save your tips and try to get a different section or just go to the swim-up bar yourself.

They provide small tubes of shampoo, shower gel and lotion. They have a closet area with hangers but you do have to bring your own hair dryer. They have a main meeting room. And a few smaller meeting areas. The cafeteria is pretty large with plenty of tables. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt the cafeteria food wasn't as good as our last stay but it was still tasty but still healthy. Looking forward to our next visit.

They have both lodges and cabins if you want a cheaper option or a nice one. The rooms we used for worship and teaching were good and cozy. Pretty easy to get up here, even with a little rain, the roads are pretty safe and there's a lot of parking. They have a big playing field, a basketball court, extra big rooms if you need them for games or meetings or something. The only thing is that it's vegetarian, hard if you're Keto. I'm not keto but it would be hard if you were.
