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

Final Report – October 2001
Ribbon coalition and other groups are trying to come up with ways for all of us to get along - that
means we can off-road responsibility along with responsible hikers, bikers, nature lovers (which
most of us (99%) appreciate nature). It is upsetting for me as a tax paying law-abiding citizen to
see areas like 54% of Glamis closed over the BLM giving in to a lawsuit instead of seeing the
other side. Please consider this.
Perhaps more info for visitors on low impact camping techniques.
Maybe something people have to sign with dos and don'ts on camping backcountry.
Our 8th year of visit here. Always enjoy the park and its beauty. Would like better information to
be available on the more remote hiking trails.
Open Coyote Canyon for a limited number of permitted users per year to trek from Anza-Borrego
to Anza.
Take ranger guided tours through the main road in the Carrizo Impact Area in the winter months.
Off roading is fun!
Off road motorcycles (dirt bikes) should be better controlled, they don't belong when people go to
camp and enjoy peace and quiet.
The park and its rangers are excellent; I have been coming here for 20 years and still find it to be
an extraordinary place.
No comment
No camp fires
Nice primitive camping!
Nice park. I like it very much, I'll be back.
Need more water excess and trash cans.
More distance info on signs for driving and hiking.
Manage car/truck/ATV speeds. Drivers drive too fast.
Limit travelers by a permit system. Thank you for your service to the park and information to
visitors!
Limit offroad vehicles
Improve primitive roads 2wd - vehicles
Keep all land open for riding and off road recreation and camping.
It's a wonderful park! Husband's family has been camping here for 35 years. Our special
interests are #1 wildflowers, #2 geology.
Freedom of access to remote areas is wonderful - for children and adults.
Do not like the noise and destruction where motorcycles and off-road vehicles go up the hills and
dunes and damage the environment.
Love the beauty, privacy, quiet, flowers, solitude, etc.
It must be a balance and there must be a policy to protect those areas, which are pristine as you
are doing to Coyote Canyon.
I wish someone would organize trips into Harper, Oriflamme, etc. because in many families there
one person who wants to be more adventurous and one who would prefer to remain with very
tame hikes.
I hate off road vehicles ban them.
I come for the backcountry camping, and the solitude. Limiting the number of visitors I think
would be good.
I appreciate the availability of the park and the accessibility. I really can't complain about the
vistors because most are friendly open people. The camping areas are well maintained and the
park rangers are helpful.
I am enjoying the level of park attendance today. I do see an increase in off road use in a newly
sign "off road areas" near Salton city. With the additional sign and toilet, it has increased the
impact on this area marked.
Glad you took this survey. Let's help the environment.
Develop as it is now with different areas with different uses - some areas. High density off road -
