Landform

California’s largest state park. Badlands of the Borrego, palm oases, and a viewpoint that looks like another planet.

Field note

Font’s Point is a lip over the Borrego Badlands. After rain the ocotillo burns red. Palm Canyon holds a stream the desert did not expect. Most of California never comes here.
