Overview

One of Anza Borrego's great southern trails, South Indian Canyon is almost a mirror image of North Indian Canyon and is a dream come true for overlanders and 4x4 enthusiasts alike who are looking to escape the headache of city life and enjoy the solitude and beauty of the amazing Anza Borrego State Park. Along the route, you will be submerged in amazing desert plant life amid stunning boulder-filled mountains in the background. You can even see the Carrizo Badlands lurking off to the north from the high points. Once you reach the trail's end, you come across an oasis with natural palms used by the Kumeyaay, also known as the Tipai-lpai, a Native American tribe. Because of this, many people often say this is one of their favorite memories while visiting the southern section of Anza-Borrego State Park.
