A one-night stay at this state park. Only got to see a small sampling of it.

Lovely pictures I liked seeing the cactus in bloom. Enjoy your visit in Yuma.

Pretty campground! Love the springtime in the desert with the cactus flowers blooming. Hope you can get more pics of those near Yuma.

Really nice looking campground and I love those trees as well as the blooms. Have you and the pups managed to avoid all the thorns and stickers? Nicky had his first encounter with a sand spur last week (mine too and it hurt).

One of my favorite places. It is supposed to be really beautiful and crowded when the desert blooms in the spring.

If you go back again, be sure to walk the Borrego Palm Canyon trail to the oasis off the north end of the Palm Canyon Campground. It is supposed to take 2 hours but took me 5. Just don't fall into a cactus bush and need to be rescued as I did! (Older couple helped me up and wife pulled larger spines out of my rear end.)

The palms are California Palms, and are native to California. You can distinguish them from the regular palms which are originally from Mexico because of their very fat bases. You don't see them planted very often. Some people believe they are short, but they really do get very tall.

I loved the stream in Palm Canyon. It trickles out and sinks into the desert soil, but is so nice way back in the canyon.
