Jerry Schad's Indian Canyon / Borrego Palm Canyon Traverse

Jerry Schad's Indian Canyon / Borrego Palm Canyon Traverse (see photos for description!)

“This is a grand tour of one of Anza-Borrego’s most remote, rugged, and beautiful areas. In the midsection of this trip, you’ll pass through a pristine wilderness where the tracks of a mountain lion are far more common than the impressions of a lug-soled boot.”
Jerry Schad - Afoot and Afield: San Diego Country: A Comprehensive Hiking Guide

Looks like one more cool weekend to hike in Anza Borrego!
