Amazing slot canyon and rock formationsGreat beginner desert hikeGreat photography opportunities
The Slot is one of the Anza-Borrego Desert's best hiking destinations. It is located off of Buttes Pass Road, which is an unpaved (but graded) dirt road in the Anza-Borrego State Park. Buttes Pass Road is located at Mile Marker 87.2 of California Highway 78, and the point is also a mile and a half East of Borrego Springs Road. From Highway 78, turn North on Buttes Pass Road, and follow it for one mile to the parking area. From the parking area, head Southwest (left) for about fifty feet toward the visible canyon below. The route is marked by various trail cairns, and is a relatively easy descent. Once at the bottom, follow the canyon through all of its twists and turns. The total distance of the Slot itself is about 1.5 miles one way; or three miles roundtrip.
