With November rolling around, it was time once again for a hike into the Anza-Borrego wilderness to check out the world's largest wooden railroad trestle along the "Impossible Railroad", tucked away in rugged Goat Canyon.

That's a tough little hike up Mortero Palms to the Goat Canyon area. Looks like someone laid a string of large rocks across the grating parallel to the tracks, perhaps to dissuade mountain bikes? Notice any water around the palms?

Yeah, it seems to get a little easier each time I hike out there.
The rocks are to warn folks of the large hole just up ahead from a large boulder that smashed through the grating. We didn't see any water at the palms.

Nice report.
Those must have been your groups footprints I followed today doing an out and back from Mortero Palms to the trestle.

Ha, probably!
One of the days I'll have to head up Jacumba Peak out there once I get past the palms.

I have yet to go that route, always thru the gorge it seems is where I end up going, looks like a good trip again and I like the retro style photos.

Thanks! I just use a free photo app on my phone. I leave the serious photography to my wife.
