- Trail: Upper Coyote Canyon (Turkey Track)

Description

This is a one day trip down Turkey Track into upper Coyote Canyon in Anza Borrego State Park. Bring a lunch.

Be prepared for a steep rocky grade getting us into and out of the canyon. We'll eat lunch at Bailey's cabin. After lunch we will drive up as far as we can get up the canyon until you don't want to proceed further. Last year we winched in and out some, Not everyone winched but rather watched from a safe distance. .

Meet at the Sinclair gas station at 56216 Cahuilla Road, Anza, CA, at 9 AM ready to go.
