Scissors Crossing
About this site
Effectively a parking lot with access to the Pacific Crest Trail, Scissors Crossing is a large, flat, dirt area located inside Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Many people use this as an overnight parking site, while others use it for camping. Many campers returning home from Ocotillo Wells will park here for the night and leave the next morning. Full time boondockers wanting relative proximity to San Diego and Temecula may find this area advantageous. It’s elevated about 8 to 10 feet up from the road, giving you just enough height to get an extra bar of cellphone signal. It remains relatively peaceful, and just a 30 minute drive from Julian and Borrego Springs.
