This stunning view captures the arid beauty of the Anza-Borrego Desert, framed by the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains. These mountains, part of the Peninsular Ranges, rise dramatically from the desert floor, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding terrain. Known for their geological diversity and ancient history, the Santa Rosa Mountains were once home to the Cahuilla people, who thrived in this challenging landscape. The foreground is dotted with cholla cacti and desert shrubs, showcasing the hardy vegetation adapted to this harsh yet enchanting desert environment.
