Directions
State Park signs greet you at the Imperial-San Diego county line which marks the end of the Yuha Desert and the beginning of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A mile later you come to a fork in the road where you have the following options:
- Follow Dos Cabezas road to the right and continue north beside the tracks. Points of interest include Indian Hill, an abandoned railroad construction camp, and Carrizo Palms.
- Turn south (left) on a 4WD road. This is a tough drive but a nice hike two miles south to where the railroad tracks curve at some sand dunes and go two miles northeast.
- Cross the tracks by driving straight ahead over a graded crossing.
