Visiting
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park includes 500 miles (800 km) of dirt roads, twelve designated wilderness area, and 110 miles (180 km) of hiking trails to provide visitors with many opportunities to experience the Park's unique version of the Colorado Desert environs. Park information and maps, interpretive events and displays, and listening devices for the hearing impaired, are all available in the Visitor Center. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park has wi-fi access in various sections of the park, as do fifty five other California State Parks.
Many visitors approach Anza-Borrego from the east-Coachella Valley side via California County Route S22 and S78. Visitors can also approach from the west-Pacific Ocean side via California County Routes S79 or S67 and add experiences of passing through the high and forested Laguna Mountains, such as in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. These highways climb from the coast to elevation 2,400-foot (730 m), then descends 2,000-foot (610 m) down into the Borrego Valley in the center of the park. This great bowl of the Anza-Borrego desert is surrounded by mountains, with the Vallecito Mountains southward and the highest Santa Rosa Mountains to the north. They are in the park's wilderness area, without paved roads and with the only year-round creeks in Anza-Borrego.

Famous quotes containing the word visiting:
“For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you.”
—Bible: Hebrew Deuteronomy, 6:15.
The words are also found in Exodus 20:5, referring to the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ... for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“Mrs. Sneed and her daughter, Miss Austine Sneed, are visiting us—Washington correspondents of excellent character.... We are much interested in their accounts of Washington affairs. Nothing could be further from our desire than to return to Washington and again enter its whirl, either socially or politically, but we are interested in seeing Washington with the roof off.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
