Central Hwy 78, Hwy S-3THE HWY 78 “SAN FELIPE CORRIDOR†FORMS THE BROAD MIDRIFF of the Anza-Borrego region, extending east from pine-covered uplands and mile-high peaks to below-sea-level desert plains. Highway 78, from Julian to the Salton Sea, traversing the watershed of San Felipe Wash and its tributaries, has been a major corridor of travel since the late 1800s. As an E-W corridor, it is a notable exception to historic routes of travel in the Anza-Borrego region, which generally follow NW/SE-trending earthquake faults.Highway 78 slices across the following faults: Elsinore fault at Banner, Earthquake Valley fault at Scissors Crossing, San Felipe fault at the Narrows, Yaqui Ridge detachment fault at Nude Wash, Coyote Creek fault at Ocotillo Wells, and Superstition Hills fault near Trifolium (junction of Hwys 78 and 86). Highway 78 generally follows the path of Banner and San Felipe Creeks, which are antecedent streams, present before tectonic uplift. Subsequent uplift was slow enough to permit the flowing water to cut downward as fast as the rock barriers arose. Consequently, Hwy 78 is never more than a couple of miles from San Felipe Creek except for the creek’s northward loop around Borrego Mountain, which is influenced by the Coyote Creek fault.As a recreational corridor, Hwy 78 is the central entrance to the Anza-Borrego area. The park’s second-largest campground, Tamarisk Grove, is located on this corridor, as is Ocotillo Wells, in Lower Borrego Valley, which is a popular recreational focal point for off-roaders and desert explorers. Ocotillo Wells features Borrego Mountain to the northwest, the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area (OWSVRA) to the north, and the Split Mountain/Fish Creek area to the south. Farther east the R9/R10 Poleline Road (BLM Road EC191) offers access to the San Felipe Hills and the San Sebastian Marsh. Highway 86 forms the eastern boundary of the region, connecting Hwys S-22 and 78.Sentenac Cienega (marsh) and canyon, at the western gate to ABDSP, deserve particular attention because of the special effort that the Anza-Borrego Foundation (ABF) spearheaded to preserve this unique riparian area, one of the last undeveloped wetlands in California and an area that park visionaries had hoped to include as a 220-acre “scenic easement†in the original boundaries in 1933. Preserving this area for future generations was a cooperative effort by several major agencies and groups, including the California State Parks, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Caltrans.The abundance of water in the marsh and canyon supports a lush plant growth, including two rare and threatened plant communities, the Mesquite Bosque and the Sonoran Cottonwood Willow Riparian Forest. The cienega and canyon have long been a favorite haunt for students of botany. As early as 1832, English botanist Thomas Coulter collected screwbean mesquite and noted the variety of plants in and near the cienega. Many animals, including the endangered least Bell’s vireo, the three-spined stickleback warm-water fish, the southwestern willow flycatcher, and the desert bighorn sheep, depend on this permanent water supply. Over 33 sensitive species have been identified in this area. Bird life in Sentenac Cienega and Sentenac Canyon is outstanding in spring. The marsh is also a premiere area for butterflies, including the Eunus skipper, the Sonoran blue, the striated queen, and the migratory monarch. This riparian area was also a focus of attention for early Indians and later homesteaders.In the early 1990s, preliminary discussions began between the current owners of the property and ABF about the possibility of acquiring this unique wetlands area as an addition to the state park. The actual acquisition became a reality in 1998, realizing the dreams of park visionaries Guy L. Fleming and Newton B. Drury, some 65 years earlier.Trip 4A: Earthquake (Shelter) Valley to Ocotillo Wells via Hwy 78FROM: Scissors Crossing in Earthquake (Shelter) ValleyTO: Ocotillo WellsVIA: Central Hwy 78 (paved road)CONNECTING TRIPS1A–Warner Ranch Junction to Earthquake Valley via Hwy S-24B–Tamarisk Grove to Ranchita (S-22) via Grapevine Canyon4C–Tamarisk Grove to Borrego Springs via Hwy S-34D–Ocotillo Wells to Borrego Valley via San Felipe Wash5A–Ocotillo Wells to Trifolium (junction Hwy 86/Hwy 78) via Hwy 785B–Ocotillo Wells to Fish Creek via Split Mtn Road6A–Earthquake Valley to Ocotillo (Imperial Co.) via Hwy S-26B–Julian to Earthquake (Shelter) Valley via Hwy 78POINTS OF INTEREST, SIDE TRIPS, AND TRAILS (See Appendix 4, “Trails Found in This Book: A Quick Overviewâ€) PCT/San Felipe Hills, Sentenac Cienega and Canyon, Grapevine Canyon, Plum Canyon, Lizard Canyon, Tamarisk Grove, Stag Cove, Mescal Bajada, Chuckwalla Wash, Mine Wash, Pinyon Wash, Nolina Wash, Bighorn Canyon, Harper Flat, Sunset Mountain, Narrows Earth Trail, Quartz Vein Wash, Old Borrego Valley Road, Nude Wash, Sunset Wash, Kane Spring Road, Borrego Springs Road/Texas Dip, Borrego Mountain, West Butte and The Slot, Hawk Canyon, Buttes Pass/Goat Trail, Harper Canyon/Cactus Garden, Blow Sand Canyon, OWSVRA Ranger Station and Discovery Center, Main Street CampSUMMARY State post mile markers on vertical white “paddle boards,†emergency call boxes, and bridges appear approximately every mile.

The Vallecito Stage Station is 19 miles southeast on Hwy S-2.Historic Hwy S-2 follows the long, narrow fault-controlled swath of Earthquake (Shelter) Valley to the southeast and San Felipe Valley to the northwest. Drainages from both valleys meet here at Sentenac Cienega, turning east into Sentenac Canyon, which contains Hwy 78. 70.0 SAN FELIPE CREEK AND EAST SCISSORS CROSSINGThe San Felipe Stage Station site and monument is about 0.3 mile northwest up Hwy S-2. The PCT crosses Hwy 78 just east of Scissors Crossing. It may be seen snaking up Grapevine Mountain, en route to Barrel Spring on Hwy S-22.PCT/Grapevine Mt/San Felipe Hills segmentYou can hike a portion of the PCT northwest along the southern foot of Grapevine Mountain for a couple of miles to get a nice view of a stretch of the Elsinore fault zone in San Felipe Valley and Earthquake Valley to the southeast, which is also the route of the Butterfield Overland Stage and the Southern Emigrant Trail as it heads for Teofulio Summit to the northwest. The San Felipe Butterfield station was located below in the valley on the west side of S-2 by a spring and a large cottonwood tree and was the only wooden station on the western route (see Trip 1A). To take this hike, park on the road near the PCT crossing. If no parking is available near the crossing, drive 0.3 mile north on S-2 to the large parking area on the east (right) for the San Felipe State Station site and monument referenced above. You can join the PCT from here by following a faint use-trail northeast up a sandy wash for a short distance. This hike has a nice variety of desert plants, especially cacti, as it is in a transition zone between low desert and high desert. The option of hiking to Barrel Spring, however, will take some planning, as it requires an overnight backpack with plenty of water. There is no water on the trail as it winds its way through the San Felipe Hills until Barrel Spring, 23.8 miles northwest. There is also no shade, and temperatures can be extreme some parts of the year. This segment of the PCT was routed down to this dry stretch of the desert because the original preferred route over Volcan Mountain crossed what was private land at the time.End of Hike

I always take it with me when going to Borrego. The map alone is worth the price. The book has so much information, it's really great. The formating is not entirely to my liking, but I don't leave home without this book. There is information in here you won't find anywhere else-history of the region, geological info, etc. This and Afoot and Afield and you don't need any other books!
this book would be quite useful for someone who plans to spend a week or more in Anza-Borrego or make repeated visits into the backcountry. For someone visiting the park for a day or two, there is too much information and it is not organized in such a way as to make it easy to identify what you're looking for.
I've used this book for over 30 years and wore out some previous editions. I started using when I was a scout leader and brought it and the map on many desert backpacking trips. Both book and map were invaluable in planning interesting areas to visit. It's still the top travel guide to Anza-Borrego. The miles are precise between points and the descriptions are very good. Don't hesitate to buy this one if you plan any desert exploration.
This is a great book. I carried it along with me in the car every day I was there (earlier this spring 2018). The map was easy to read, and the driving tours in the chapters were really helpful. We took several of the hikes and were glad to have the extra information beforehand. This book became an absolute must have before any serious trip to the Anza Borrego Desert.
This is THE book to go for if one wants an intimate knowledge of the Anza Borrego Desert. Well laid out, the specific area guides are easy to find, plus a wonderful color map is included with purchase. Speaking of color, I would think it about time now to update and upgrade to photos within the book to color. I realize that printing costs would rise, but the extra cost would be well worth it as someone travels through the book on "previsualized" journeys. I would have given it five stars except for its lack of color photos.
A useful guide to the treasurers found in Anza-Borrego. The booklet is a perfect size to fit in a glove box and is well written and easy to understand.
This is the latest edition of an amazingly complete and detailed guidebook to one of the best of California's natural areas. Lowell and Dianna Lindsay do a wonderful job of chronicling the changes that have taken place over the years. In an area as vast as the Anza-Borrego, new roads and trails open up while others fade away - and they seem to be able to keep up with ALL of them!
Awesome guide, in the map is a great backup for GPS and functions well to get some big picture when spread out on the dinner table.
