Fonts Point

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park's Fonts Point is one of the most popular lookout points with expansive views of the Borrego Badlands. People stare out in awe at the expansive landscape, a rocky labyrinth of corrugated beige and clay colored hills. During sunrises and sunsets, the area is particularly stunning.You can reach Fonts Point in a variety of ways, but this route describes an 11.2-mile out-and-back that begins at the Villager Peak & Rabbit Peak Trailhead off of Borrego Salton Seaway (S22).
