Off-road Dos Cabezas Road, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California

Add to My List Check Off

Dos Cabezas Road in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park starts at the Imperial Highway (S2), 4 miles northwest of Ocotillo. It follows the Bajada along the base of the Jacumba Mountains. It continues along the wide sandy trail between the Jacumba and Coyote Mountains. In spring the valley is covered with orange ocotillos in full bloom, making this a pleasant sight. Part of this trail crosses part route of the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railroad that also runs through the Carrizo Gorge. To access this section you have to take the spur that starts off the old Dos Cabezas Siding. You cannot do this section with your vehicles and need to hike or ride a horse or bike. This also makes it possible to fully experience the whole 11 miles of this section. There is a possibility of re-opening a tourist railroad by the authorities. If you choose to follow the main trail you can continue along Moreto Canyon to the Imperial Highway. Camping along the way is possible with some great views awaiting you. Source: Dirtopia
