Slot Canyons & Mud Caves

California Deserts

Wind caves are common in the sandy rocks of large cliffs faces. Mud caves in the deserts are intriguing but somewhat dangerous. Seasonal rains can cause slides & collapse in on top of you.

Located primarily in the desert regions:

Anza Borrego Desert State Park Split Mountain road leads to a few. Also multiple narrow slot canyons can be found at Canon Sin Nombre.

Red Rock Canyon State Park has interesting formations in which to climb in the Mojave Desert.
