Hero: Mortero Palms - Anza Borrego
small-aa Icon

The Jacumba Mountains shield this area from weather and afternoon sun. It made for more hospitable dwelling lands for the Kumeyaay, who made this area home for over a thousand years. The palm grove up this canyon provided them with material for structures and clothing. Today Motero Palms delivers a beautiful hike to the palms and a sought-after camping opportunity that is not well rivaled within the park.
