Trail Overview
Inspiration Wash is a trail in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park that follows a canyon through the Borrego Badlands. The trail possesses otherworldly geography and is great for scenic driving. Throughout the trail, you'll encounter several technical challenges including steep and deeply rutted hills, shelves, and off-camber sections all paired with the narrow and twisting canyon walls. High clearance and 4WD will be essential. The wash is shaped during the desert's wet season and may change year to year. Always come prepared and be aware of your surroundings. Despite the nearby dunes, vehicles accessing the trail must be highway legal. Several areas may only be accessed by foot. Respect all posted signage.
