About this place

Added by Dmitry Word

Stunning Landscapes. No light Pollution. Great for Night Photography and Timelapse.

The drive to the caves is pretty lengthy, so be prepared.

First you will drive through Anza Borrego State Park on Highway 78, then on a Split Mountain road which eventually turns into gravel road, and you need to look out for the entrance to the wash-road (which if you like to off road, is a perfect place to take your truck or SUV to play at). The wash-road is pretty flat; smaller cars, like Honda Civics, have been able to make it there, but you need to be REALLY careful and choose your path wisely. After about 2-3 miles you will drive out on what looks like a parking lot. From there, there is a trail that leads to the wind caves.

The wind caves are a fun spot to play around. The have multiple large holes and about 3 rows of rock formations with a walking area between them.
