Overview

Diablo Drop-Off isn't as scary as it sounds, but it is a great story when you get home and tell your family that you drove down a hill named after the Devil himself. From a pragmatic point of view, it will most likely be on your itinerary when you overland between sections of the renowned Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Diablo Drop-Off connects trails in the southern area, such as Canyon Sin Nombre and Vallecito Creek, with the more famous northern trails, such as Fish Creek Wash and Sandstone Canyon. Whatever the motivation is to conquer the hill or make as many offroad miles as possible in the Park, Diablo Drop-Off is waiting for you to explore.
