BORREGO
The Desert
Hacienda del Sol sits smack in the middle of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in the unpretentious town of Borrego Springs, population 3,429. It’s the only California town that is completely surrounded by a state park, and that’s just one bullet point in Borregos list of bragging rights.

Stargazing
It’s also an official International Dark Sky Community—the first and only one in California—dedicated to protecting the night sky from light pollution. Backyard stargazing parties happen almost every night.

Favorites:
Palm Canyon Hike – back into the mountains, leading to a palm oasis. Start at the park visitor center or campgrounds.
Slot Canyon Hike -- a beautiful natural formation nestled in the heart of the state park. Map or call the visitor center.
Fonts Point -- best view! its a short walk from the parking area to the viewpoint. 4WD needed for the 4 mile dirt road drive to get there.
