Desert View Overlook

Highlight • Viewpoint

On a clear day you can see the base of the Salton Sea 40 miles away. The desert below is the lower portion of the Anza-Borrego State Park

Monument Peak

Highlight • Summit

Monument Peak has some awesome panoramic views of Anza-Borrego and Mount Laguna.

It is also host to some antennae, cell towers, and a satellite laser facility. The presence of these features on the peak make it a less popular summit for the area. But that can be a good thing, since it offers some of the best views around, and it doesn't tend to get too crowded.
