Hapaha Flat Road

Hapaha Flats in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is a real treat. Rarely traveled due to its location within the park, the trail has that "away from it all" solitude. The four-wheel drive road rolls through the desert surrounded by Ocotillo, Desert Willow, and Agave in the land once home to the Kumeyaay, also known as the Tipai-lpai, a Native American tribe. They hunted and gathered in the area in the spring and winter months. The pictographs and morteros in the area tell their story of how they were one with the land. Plan for a full day of adventure for this one, as you must drive Fish Creek out and back or take Pinyon Mountain Road.
