Hike
Sombrero Peak, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California
View Original Description
Sombrero Peak (4,229 feet above sea level)rises well above the southern part of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. This 10 mile (1,300' elevation gain) hike is moderately strenuous and takes about 7 hours to complete. The summit overlooking a hundred-square-mile expanse of rock-strewn mountains and gorges, sun-baked valleys, and shimmering badlands.
Off S-22 turn west at mile marker 46.1. and drive toward and finally through steep-walled Indian Gorge. After 2.7 miles the road splits, with branches going into the north and south forks of gently sloping Indian Valley. Keep left at the junction and drive into the south fork about three more miles to the road’s end near the mouth of a canyon dotted with a few native palm trees.
High clearance vehicles required.
