The rain predicted for this week has me thinking about good places to go in Anza Borrego on rainy days. My first thoughts... Obviously avoid areas prone to flash floods. If I do drive off pavement, something tame, more gravel maybe and not so much mud. The goal isn't to test my vehicle recovery skills. smile And maybe the same goes for going on foot. Hiking in the rain can be really nice, but if the ground gets too muddy it can be a chore.

What do you all think? Are there places that you like to go on rainy days?

A few pictures from the weekend. I apologize for the poor photo quality. I was just so fascinated by snow in the desert.

From the ridge above Alcoholic Pass, looking across the north end of Clark Lake at the Santa Rosas.






Pinyon Ridge above Old Culp Valley road.

Inner Pasture is always a nice place and the walking investment usually means you have it to yourself. Red Top is no rainy day stroll and my perspective comes from having done El Cajon Mountain 103 times.



Inner Pasture is now on my list. So many places to see...

El Cajon Mountain 103 times! Nice!! smile


El Cajon Mtn is my least favorite hike in Afoot and Afield. To each their own.
