Anza-Borrego Desert: Horse camp canyon

Rating *****
length 5 Mile - 2 hour, 50 minutes (Round trip), Easy/Moderate.
Elevation 840 - 1540 feet
Access Most cars, see below.
This is a hike up an unnamed canyon west of the Horse Camp road.
The terrain is rather flat at first, with some rocks further on.
Once in the canyon wash, first mostly sandy with some rocks and boulders, later more and more boulders.
Hiking is 'easier' just outside the main wash.
We where surprised to be able to hike this far into the canyon without too much effort and we did no reach the end at our point of return.

How to get here:

Take the well signed exit Horse Camp, close to the bend Borrego Springs Rd/Henderson Canyon Rd.
Drive the dirt road up to point 'Park'.
