Anza Borrego Camping, Hiking, and Longboarding
Anza Borrego State Park offers great desert hiking opportunities, beautiful scenery, and a number of hills to longboard. Some of the best Anza Borrego hiking takes you from deep inside narrow meandering desert canyons to the top of vast scenic overlooks and wild palm oases. The state park is an amazing place and an Anza Borrego camping trip is an experience you will not forget!

Sidewinder Skate Park
The skate park in El Centro is named Sidewinder Skate Park. This was a great skate park with very smooth cement. Half of the skate park has a street layout and the other half of the park is dedicated to the large bowl. On the street section of the park there are a number of ramps, rails, stairs, and boxes.

Mud Caves!
Our favorite and most exciting hike in Anza Borrego State Park was exploring the Arroyo Tapiado Mud Caves! We parked near the information sign seen above and immediately started checking out all the branching side canyons off of the main wash. In these canyons we came upon lots of unique mud formations such as tunnels, arches, and varying sized caves. Some of the branched canyons got very narrow. And some of the arches were low enough to make you duck under.

Longboarding Yaqui Pass
The largest hill that I skated in Anza Borrego State Park was on the S-3 near Yaqui Pass Campground. The S-3 road is also called Yaqui Pass Road. This road probably has the largest hill in the park and from the pass you can head north downhill or south downhill.
