Prior to a conference in San Diego, we will have one night and two full days for "fun." We are thinking about spending that time at Anza-Borrego State Park and staying the night in Borrego Springs. Kindly suggest activities for us. We enjoy moderate hiking, natural beauty, quiet and Big Horn Sheep.
We will have a rental car, but not for off-road exploration.
Thanks

What time of year are you planning on going? While San Diego enjoys beautiful year-round weather, Borrego Springs is actually desert area and quite warm during the summer months.

If you aren't there in the midst of summer, check out the hike in Palm Canyon. Beautifull oasis at the end perfect for a dip to cool off. La Casa Del Zorro is a wonderful hotel also with a nice restaurant. They have fun Jazz weekends planned occassionally

We will be travelling to Borrego Springs near the end of May.

The high temperature in Borrego Springs today will be around 96F, with a low of 59F. By the end of May, the daytime high could esily be over 100F. If this would be too hot for you, I suggest that you consider staying overnight in Julian, which is high in the mountains, therefore cooler. There are all kinds of hiking trails and picnic areas quite close to town.
