The Steven Experience

After numerous years away from wheeling the mild yet fascinating trails of the anza borrego desert in southern California, I made a return trip. I got a call from a few friends inviting me out for an easy camping trip at Fish Creek and we’d go explore Sandstone Canyon and the surrounding area. Although the trails aren’t difficult, having a 4×4 vehicle is strongly recommended being that the washes and canyons have sandy bottoms. This is the kind of trip you’d go on when you want to see some pretty unique places and relax without having to worry about breaking your rig in the middle of nowhere. There are a few cool obstacles out there such as “the squeeze” “Diablo dropoff” and “pinion dropoff” but the drive up sandstone canyon will have your eye’s glued on the canyon walls when you should probably be watching where you’re driving. There is also some wildlife out there so if you find your self in this part of the desert, please drive at a reasonable speed. On this trip, I got word over the ham radio that we had 60 MPH gusts and rain back at camp so we headed back and called it a day after cleaning up. Due to the weather we didn’t get a ton of tie to explore but sandstone canyon should be on your list of places to visit next time you’re down there.
I didn’t get too many pictures of this trip but here are a couple cool shots that I got:
