A 1.64-mile (2.64-km) round-trip trail leads to Yaqui Well, a historic desert watering place. The relatively flat, gentle hike takes about one hour. The well is actually a seep that supports a small riparian area with desert ironwood, mesquite and other vegetation, making it a particularly good birdwatching spot, especially during spring migration in late April and early May. More than 140 bird species have been recorded here.
Yaqui Well is a historic spring located in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southeastern San Diego County, California in the United States about 21.4 mi (34.4 km) east of Warner Springs. The watering hole can be reached by a popular 1.64 mi (2.64 km) one-hour hiking trail starting at Tamarisk Grove Campground. The trail was described in the New York Times as a "flat, gentle hike—the kind that wraps around small, sloping hills, abuts a shallow canyon, and rewards its guests with an otherworldly view of the desert at the finale."
