Overview

South Carrizo Creek follows its namesake water tributary through a flood plane resulting in one of the greenest trails in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. With lush vegetation and perfect for late winter flowers, the trail provides spectacular views of the Vallecito, Tierra Blanco, and the Sawtooth Mountains in one direction and the Carrizo Badlands in another. When exploring the more famous trails, such as Canyon Sin Nombre, don't lose sight of this gem hidden in plain sight.
