Galleta Meadows Scupltures

Over a hundred large metal sculptures can be found in the desert around Borrego Springs. To see them, start from Christmas Circle in the center of town, and drive either north or south on Borrego Springs Road. In about 1 mile (or 3 miles if you are going south), start watching for the sculptures in the landscape. When you see them, simply park along the side of the road, and walk out to see them.
