SUMMARY:Overnight backpacking trip to Whale Peak in Anza Borrego
DESCRIPTION:This is an Intermediate level trip due to some off-trail scrambling up Smugglers Canyon and the fact that it is overnight dry camping (all water for the trip must be carried). \nAt 10:00 am (12/18)\, we will meet up at the Pictographs Trailhead (search “Anza Borrego Pictographs Trailhead” in Google Maps). \nThe backpacking route can be found on All Trails at https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/whale-peak-via-pictograph-smuggler-s-canyon-trail \nWe will camp on top of Whale Peak for a beautiful view of the sunset and sunrise before heading back to the cars (12/19). There will be no water source available from the time we leave the cars to the time we return to the cars so you must carry all the water you will need. (Recommended at least 4 liters of water.)
