Just curious if Ocotillo Wells has some scenic trails that are easy enough that someone could do alone? I know it's not recommended to go alone but thinking about driving out there tomorrow to check it out.

Or any other recommendations on places to go? Thanks!

 

I am here in the Borrego Springs area today. Let me know if you would like to meet and do a run together.

 

Thanks! I'm actually getting a late start today so I'm not sure if I'm going to make it...any shorter runs that don't take all day?

What time are you thinking, if you decide to come out?

 

I'm actually about to head that direction. Need to get some gas and grab lunch on the way. You know the fastest way out there from Mission Valley?

 

Going to get there around 2.

 

Were going to go to Coyote Canyon. I can meet you at the circle in Borrego Springs.

 

So go to borrego springs? I'm about 10 miles from ocotillo wells ohv area...
