Saturday after arriving in Souht Palm Wash, we’ll set up camp, then head out to Calcite Mine and slot canyons. This hike is at the SE end of the Santa Rosa Mountains and brings us into chaotic rock formations and thru slot canyons. We will travel single-file thru some of the best slot canyons in the Anza-Borrego Desert! We will stop for lunch near Locomotive Rock enjoying sweeping views. After lunch, we will head back through a different set of slots to our cars and back to camp for the night. Saturday night, we'll have a campfire, Covid-safe happy hour and dinner. You do need slightly high clearance think CRV; we will be driving .25 mile on a dirt road to camp. Sunday morning, we’ll get up, work on lessons, do a tent tour, and pack up.We will drive over to Palm Canyon for a beautiful creek-side hike with views of Indian Head. You may see Bighorn Sheep here.
