Anza Borrego Desert State Park - California State Parks - State of ...

Final Report – October 2001
Create more trailheads that can be driven to in regular passenger cars.
All trials need to be more clearly marked and signed.
Change high admission fee to thin out the use.
Better trail signs in Palm Canyon loop like in South West Canyon.
AS a MNDNR Park naturalist - compliments to "the park." A few more id plant signs on the VC
roof. Biodegradable toilets! Better picture postcards (25 cent type) Recycle policy park wide!!!!!
Thanks to the volunteers who know so much and relate so well to all the visitors. Need
education of USA public to the budget and natural resources of CA ST. PK's.
As a family, we frequently camp on primitive areas of the park. We would love to keep it that
way. Some of these areas are unmarked from the road and we like that these areas are not
accessible to everyone.
A place of incredible natural beauty keep it pristine!
A great experience, Thank You.
A great experience, enjoyed it a lot.
Comments: Spring Visitors to Coyote Canyon
We've loved Anza-Borrego ever since we first came here. We've camped here, Joshua Tree,
and Death Valley on spring camping trips but it's Anza-Borrego we keep coming back to. We like
its peace, solitude. It's a place to explore, see birds and flowers. We've brought our daughters
and their friends here and now this trip we've brought our 4yr. old grandson.
WE should be respectful of nature and conservation while keeping in mind that this is our
(humans) planet and should allow our judgment on how to use it without plants and animals
dictating out activities.
We love this park and area.
We love it.
We enjoy the park very much. Anza Borrego and Ocitillo Wells OHV park is where we like to go.
We enjoy 4 wheeling and the backcountry that excludes others and the larger crowds but agree it
should be protected and patrolled. Responsible 4x4 is the best way to get away, be with nature,
and have a chance to see and enjoy the wildlife.
Thanks; you are all doing a great job. Fees are ok; maps are great it keeps us knowing the rules.
Update the movie to include various earthquakes and off road abuse - photo possibilities -
otherwise fantastic.
This park is one of the greatest things in this area. I am an off-roader and have few places to go
legally.
Thanks
This is my second visit to Anza Borrego, I am not aware of what goes on "behind the curtains" so
to speak. What I see everywhere at this time is just the way I would like to see it year after year.
And we do plan to return yearly, but sudden beginnings of more growth would probably make us
go elsewhere. The town of Borrego Springs is perfect just the way it is. I would encourage as
much private land to be purchased as is possible.
This desert park is truly an oasis just as it is. My husband and I marvel at the fact that no matter
where we've driven in the park, and /or walked we have not seen a single (almost) piece of litter.
I don't want this are to change or grow.
This is my first visit to Anza-Borrego. Although, the wildflowers blooming hasn't reached its peak
yet I am overwhelmed! I will definitively come back!
This is a very beautiful and unique park and its wildness must be preserved! At present it seems
fairly unspoiled even by most visitors - good public awareness of managing resources is
important - continuing education of the public. And crack down on people who litter/abuse the
park!
This is a unique resource. With the number of people using it in this day and age I would be
prepared to accept considerable restrictions on personal freedoms to protect it for ourselves and
