Palm Canyon Hotel and RV Resort

The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park a short stroll from Palm Canyon is the largest state park in California, set wholly within the Colorado Desert. Its 600,000 acres cover over 500 miles of dirt roads, 110 miles of hiking trails and over 550 types of fossil plants and animals discovered so far in its terrain. The park also has 12 designated wilderness areas, where you can spot desert dwellers like mountain lions, foxes, jackrabbits, golden eagles, prairie falcons and – if you're lucky – the warily shy bighorn sheep. The Desert Museum a mile from Palm Canyon has information on the park's wildlife and history. Also within a mile is the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association and Botanical Garden, and the Borrego Art Institute and Art Guild, with gallery, pottery studio, classes, events and a restaurant. 4x4 desert tours and Borrego Night Sky Tours are also within the same distance. Slightly further away, you can see the Galleta Meadows Metal Sculptures within two miles, and access three golf courses within four. The Fonts Point scenic outlook is 12 miles away.
