The Salton Sea & Anza Borrego SP
My brother Ben and I grew up doing everything together. We went on all kinds of adventures, and we shared so much in common that we could finish each other’s sentences. But as we’ve grown up, those adventures have become far too scarce. So we determined to spend the weekend before Christmas going on another adventure, and catching up on each other’s lives.
But the weekend before Christmas was promised to see nights well below freezing just about everywhere within 300 miles, which didn’t fare well for our plans to tent camp. So we followed the weather maps, and found the warmest places we could find. We ended up at the Salton Sea and Anza Borrego State Park: a fascinating part of the desert we never would have found otherwise.
Nothing beats the desert sunrise.
Snow!
Straight out of the camera…
More snow…
We watched a strong breeze blow the haze and dust out of the valley below…
To brother Ben: thanks for carving out the time to go on a roadtrip. It was an epic adventure bringing back the memories of the old days. I can’t wait to see where our next expedition takes us!
Sounds like you two still are building wonderful memories together. So thankful that you had this time together.
Great pics!
I’ve been to Borrego area camping a few times myself and I must say that it is a natural beauty that, unfortunately, most never get the pleasure of seeing even thou it so close to enjoy!
I recommend heading that way again on your next adventure, providing warmer weather of course. There is plenty of areas that make for some great photos, especially the “Badlands” and some of the canyon trails & roads.
Thanks for sharing the pics….And thanks to “Rainey” for sharing the link!
The Flo Bros on adventure. Can’t beat it. I’ve been a fan since those wacky Jamaica photos.
Matt, Your photos of the Salton Sea capture the unique beauty of the Salton Sea! If only the rest of the world knew about this gem. I am planning to do a segment on the area for a reality webisode on http://www.whiskeyandskittles.com, Hopefully I can capture the essence as well as you did! GREAT PHOTOS….
Hello, just browsing for information for my Salton site. Lots of information out there. Wasn’t what I was looking for, but interesting page. Take care.
You work is breathtaking!
