Borrego Palm Canyon Trail Hike (4K) | Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California

[@lzwnn]

No snakes, no scorpions, but plenty of tadpoles and sheep. How lovely it would be if everyone were as respectful of protecting recovering environments as you. Beautiful place!

[@CactusAtlas]

I'll take tadpoles and sheep over those alternatives any day! And thank you! 😄

[@PACbelltech1]

Love the ambient music....All Those palm trees burned in a fire started by a kid in January 2020. Glad to see they fully grew back in 1 year.

[@brucebarnes9638]

I first hiked to the oasis 25 years ago, what a spectacular piece of natural beauty. Respect both what ir is and represents.

[@Max-ye9xg]

I love watching your video thank you I'm glad there was no fanatical music in the background many videos I have skipped you made such a wonderful quiet video to enjoy thank you

[@CactusAtlas]

Glad you like them! 😄

[@doxielover2814]

Love the addition of voice excerpts about the area.. alway more interesting to learn history and info on the places you visit. Very informative..

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! 😊

[@ominoguitar]

oh yes

[@annasnyder968]

How sad when humans interfere with nature and cause harm. How wonderful that nature is able to recover. Thanks again you guys for a beautiful and informative video.

[@CactusAtlas]

Anytime! Glad we got to see nature making its come back versus fresh devastation. 😄

[@ianpatrick23]

Thank you so much for sharing this great video of the trail. I definitely have to check it out before it gets too hot

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh, you should! It's a nice little hike. 😊

[@melindakier1661]

Great job!!! Very interesting the way you did it. There are palm canyons in Palm Springs....and on the PCT behind Baldwin Lake up by Big Bear there are nice "stands" of joshua trees....and the views are spectacular. I just looked at the weather for Anza B. for next week....84 degrees....Don't think I'll go next week. Darn

[@CactusAtlas]

It's funny... 84 degrees out here in Phoenix is perfect hiking weather. 😂 Unfortunately, it's the time of the year when the heat starts creeping in ever faster.

[@jules1sd]

Thank you for not crossing into the restoration area. It took a long time for them to allow visitors back that way, after the fire.

[@CactusAtlas]

All the reason to leave it be so it can grow back. A shame it happened but hoping it can be as lush as before in time. 😊

[@PACbelltech1]

Mountain Palm Springs down near Bow Willow has 3 or 4 really big palm groves too....maybe bigger than palm canyon...Southwest Grove is huge...

[@follow_flinn]

Thanks for the video. I was there 30 minutes before it burned a few years ago (no wasn't my doing!). I was wondering if it would recover. Yay!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh goodness! Talk about timing! 😳 Thankfully you missed the fire and weren't injured.

[@ralphjones6165]

Us, too. Had just got back to our campsite and looked up the canyon and saw the smoke. So sad. I've asked around and it seems that the boy scouts who burned the grove down never suffered any consequences (and it wasn't the first fire the Scouts started in this park over the years). Went back a year later and amazed to see that the burned palms had erupted with new fronds on top already. Probably shouldn't have been surprised. We had one in our yard at home and it was nearly bullet proof and got so invasive propagating babies around the base was forced to remove it. Two years not and am still digging up newly sprouted palms.

[@CactusAtlas]

@@ralphjones6165 We're super happy that the palms grew back too. Considering what you mentioned about the new ones in your yard I shouldn't have been surprised either!

[@follow_flinn]

@ralphjones6165 I didn't know it was the Boy Scouts who were responsible. I was there at the same time as that group; they were supervised and seemed very well mannered and respectful.

[@trvlnthru]

That palm grove oasis is a beautiful reward at trail's end. Would love to go see this in person one day. Thanks for taking us along!

[@CactusAtlas]

Our pleasure! 😄

[@SwiftyTravels]

I’ve heard of this state park but I didn’t know about the palm oasis!! Gorgeous!!

[@CactusAtlas]

We learned of it from some another channel we watch (California Through My Lens). From what we're seeing there's a LOT of places to check out in the park and where a 4WD vehicle will definitely come in handy. 😄

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Very cool to find an oasis in the middle of the desert 😎😀

[@CactusAtlas]

Definitely worth the hike. 👍

[@SunStar888Vlogs]

Wow such a wonderful hiking adventures, amazing view.

[@CactusAtlas]

It really was a fantastic hike!

[@SunStar888Vlogs]

@@CactusAtlas ❤🖒

[@KarenStratos]

I enjoyed your video… brings back memories. My family and I came out here a lot. First time was 50yrs ago. There use to be a koi pond at the beginning of the hike. Is that still there?

[@CactusAtlas]

Koi pond?? How cool! Don't remember seeing one.

[@rvingitup]

Loved your tour of the hike! Great information scattered throughout. We will have to check it out when we are in that area!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you so much!

[@adventureawaits5003]

Nice upload cool you saw bighorn

[@CactusAtlas]

We seem to have a record of finding them on adventures. 😂

[@ThePlacesWhereWeGo]

Among the far too many places in our own home state that we still have not travelled to yet. A nice overview of the area. Definitely on our list.

[@CactusAtlas]

It's a fantastic place we barely scratched the surface of. Definitely a place we're going to have to go back to in the future.

[@lopezexplora]

Amazing 😻

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks 😆

[@Max-ye9xg]

I learned so much from your video I saw cahuilla off-road area and would never knew that was Indian people's name just wanted to go dirt bike riding very interesting thank you

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you!

[@AlphaTraveler1]

Very cool place but I think I like the Utah parks more. LOL. Very cool to see my friends. LIKE 26. 👍👍👍

[@CactusAtlas]

Well, they do have the Big 5 there... 😄

[@ominoguitar]

Great! Thank you for sharing. Thumb up!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks for the visit! 👍

[@lopezexplora]

Beautiful, there are more places like this in Indian Canyon right next to Palm Springs California 🥾🥾

[@CactusAtlas]

Nice! We'll have to check them out. 😄👍

[@oscarmedina1303]

@@CactusAtlas It's how Palm Springs got its name.

[@branastigandi]

THis was one of the most beautifull places I was in the USA

[@CactusAtlas]

It's a beautiful place, isn't it? Just head around a corner and BOOM! Oasis. It's magical.

[@milkcam]

California is one of the worlds greatest gifts. Everywhere in the state holds a place so sacred

[@vitalkumarK]

beautiful location

[@CactusAtlas]

It really is!

[@JessicaKwon]

wow so beautiful!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks!!! 🙏

[@alyezaserebo]

The place is awesome! 🤩

[@CactusAtlas]

We agree. It really is! 😄

[@StephanieKerckhoff]

I was there 2 weeks ago

[@davegeorge9538]

I work in the forestry industry in California clearing brush for fire control, we commonly see beautiful things that very few do.

[@oscarmedina1303]

The grove and spring exist due to an earthquake fault. The water come up through the fracture.

[@JM1701ABCD]

We’re you visiting in May? How was the temp?

[@CactusAtlas]

This video was filmed in April 2021. The temperature was warm but fairly comfortable.

[@statusqueen6490]

I always tell my brush crews this,if you think it's a nice day, snakes think it's a nice day.

[@CactusAtlas]

😂 Love it!

[@fluffyotter1601]

Always ❤️ your videos.......glad you two are back:) have been following y’all for years...great content! Simple minded people correct others. Ultimate in rude and LOW class behavior......people across the country speak and pronounce words differently....impossible to know the ALL the local word pronunciations.....

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you so much! And not to mention some areas pronounce things weird and it's just commonly accepted for some reason. 😂

[@fluffyotter1601]

Lol...so true!
