Re: Anza Borrego over New years (Was Mojave)
The camp is located along Fish Creek Sandstone Canyon Trail.
If you have the Backcountry Adventures Book it is Southeast Section Trail #30.
It is rated as a difficulty (Class) #3, But I think that rating is really for the section beyond where the camp will be located. The trail starts out as a Class 1 and turns into a Class 2 trail after the Wind Caves. I have seen 2wd sedans on this trail. The only obstacle is loose gravelly sand if you get off the track.
Here is a description of the rating systems for Class 1 - 3
Class 1
The trail is graded dirt but suitable a normal passenger vehicle. It usually has gentle grades, is fairly wide, and has very shallow water crossings (if any).
Class 2
High-clearance vehicles are preferred but not necessary. These trails are dirt roads, but they may have rocks, grades, water crossings, or ruts that make clearance a concern in a normal passenger vehicle. The trails are fairly wide, making passing possible at almost any point along the trail. Mud is not a concern under normal weather conditions.
Class 3
High-clearance 4WDs are preferred, but any high-clearance vehicle is acceptable. Expect a rough road surface; mud and sand are possible but will be easily passable. You may encounter rocks up to 6 inches in diameter, a loose road surface, and shelf roads, though these will be wide enough for passing or will have adequate pull-offs.
