Southwest this winter

Here is a link you need. Go to the link and then scroll down to their link to the "Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Magazine, pdf." On page nine of the magazine they talk about dogs being OK in the campground and on dirt roads, but not OK on trails. Anza-Borrego Desert SP

Yes, that was the disappointing part of Anza Borrego when I went through there after the Quartzsite gathering in 2010, No dogs on the trails.

It was OK for dogs everywhere except the trails. I didn't like the idea of leaving Lily in the trailer for the day while I was out hiking so I didn't go hiking. I cut my stay short and headed for places she can come with me. As it turned out that was all the way home.

Our dogs need freedom to explore and the younger one needs to run a lot. I have concluded from my reading that deserts are not safe places for dogs off leash due to cholla cactus which embeds in paws and mouths and rattlesnakes, which I doubt my dogs would leave alone. Sadly, I think I will look for other venues this winter.
