Borrego Springs

Borrego Springs is surrounded by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, a place of fan palms, wildflowers in a good spring and a big night sky. It was named an International Dark Sky Community in 2009. Hot in summer and pleasant in winter, it sits on the valley floor with a handful of cafes and motels.
