Located deep in the southern section of Anza Borrego State Park, the Arroyo Tapiado Mud Caves are one of the most popular attractions.

Randsburg is often described as a living ghost town, and that is a pretty apt description. This small town off Highway 395 is a fun and historic spot to visit, and you can read about getting an old fashioned soda at the store in this post. One of the main attractions though is the small […]
