With over 600,000 acres, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is the largest desert state park in the
contiguous United States. This outdoor classroom provides students with an
unparalleled opportunity to experience the wonders of the Colorado Desert.

The park name is derived from a combination of the name of Spanish
explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and the Spanish word "borrego," referring to
bighorn sheep. The park features washes, wildflowers, palm groves, cacti and sweeping vistas. Students may also
have the chance to see roadrunners, golden eagles, kit foxes, mule deer and
bighorn sheep as well as desert iguanas, and chuckwallas.

For a first-time visitor the desert may appear bleak and
drab. Viewed from the road, the desert only hints at its vitality. Closer examination reveals a fascinating variety of plants and animals. A rich cultural history and surreal geologic
features add to the attraction of this place.

Equipment Reminders
Follow your equipment list.
Pack together. Adult and student can double check the contents of the gear bag.
All clothing should fit in a medium size duffle.
A day pack is essential to move about the program with water, some food, extra layers of clothing, and personal incidentals.
Utensil Kit that may be reused for each meal and a cup that can handle hot & cold liquids.
![Page 64: Anza Borrego: Naturalists at Large](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b8b4ab4c90561588b5560/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Rain gear is a must. (water-proof shell) Rain Ponchos are fine.
Comfortable closed toed shoes are required. Light weight hikers or tennis shoes with a few pairs of good outdoor socks (non-cotton).
A good water bottle (quart or liter).
The proper sleeping bag (check your equipment list for specifics).
Ground pad. Ensolite pads are much cheaper than thermarest types and work just as well.
![Page 65: Anza Borrego: Naturalists at Large](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b8b4ab4c90561588b5560/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Plastic bag protection. A half dozen, 1 or 2 gallon storage ziplocks are good for protecting clothing in a gear bag from moisture. Along with a couple hefty 15 to 30 gallon bags to line your gear bag and sleeping bag (& daypack).
Don’t send gear that you could not afford lost or broken (expensive cameras, cell phones, and other electronics). A handy disposable camera would be just fine.
Follow your equipment list, ask questions, borrow from friends.
