Art that brings back the past in Borrego

As you drive along the desert roads in Anza Borrego Desert State Park you may be lucky enough to spot a Turkey Vulture circling above hunting for food or maybe even some Bighorn Sheep. There are some other amazing sights along the highway that harken back the time of the ice age and before. Scattered in the desert are sculptures placed in various locations in the northern part of the park near the town named the same, Borrego Springs. These amazing sculptures were created by Ricardo Breceda for the owner of the Galleta Meadows in Anza Borrego, owner Avery (of Avery labels...)

Thanks to a commission by Avery the artist created ancient statues of beasts from the past in steel. From raptures to sloths, tortoise to dragons crossing under road, this part of southern Cal has a homespun charm along with a lot of dust. If you like your ATVs, dirk bikes and Off road vehicles this is the place for you. I know there is much to see in this grand state park but you need 4 wheels turning or a lot of energy and a good face mask to see it. If we come this way again, we will be sure to stay at least one day in the pay area of the park to access the trails from the park. And we will never come over a holiday again, the park is too close to San Diego and LA and over run causing a choking dust everywhere.
