About This Video
The Borrego Badlands are one of the most rugged and remote regions of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, located east of Borrego Springs in Southern California. In this short DesertUSA video, you’ll see aerial and ground-level footage of these ancient eroded formations carved by wind and water. The Badlands are known for their layered sedimentary rock, fossil-rich soils, and expansive desert washes like Font’s Point and Palm Wash. This region offers a glimpse into the region’s prehistoric past and is a favorite among hikers, photographers, paleontologists, and desert explorers.
