That's to bad, I'm glad I got a chance to see it. Hopefully it's a temporary closure. :(

Someone from Justruns reported that there aren't any signs on this trail this weekend. ~dots I think these reports are coming from some tribe members of the werarby tribe. ~stupid It's easy to get corn fused driving up and down those washes. Guess I'll have to see for myself. ~rockon

When we ran through there a couple of weeks ago there were lots of new signs in the side canyons and slots. From looking at the pics it does look like it's those side-slot canyons with signs, not the main canyon. No surprise, people wheeling up in those side slots have totally trashed some of those areas, too bad. But, I agree, it looks like the main canyon trail is still clear, if it is, it's a good stop and play place after running the Squeeze and down Heart Attack Hill.

Received this today via Justruns:
Michael,
Thank you for asking about Sandstone Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. As you seem to have been there, you can appreciate the awesome beauty of this area. The canyon is not closed. Over the years the park has been open, the end of the driven portion of the canyon has often changed according to environmental conditions. Signs were put in to limit how far vehicles may travel but the canyon is still open for driving through some of the most beautiful steep wall sandstone canyons around. Toward the upper end of the canyon, signs were placed to limit vehicles. As flooding has further eroded the sand at the floor of the canyon, people with vehicles have driven further up on the sides of the walls. I am sure, if you have been there, you have seen the black color of rubber on the sandstone walls. The state park has a responsibility to preserve the pristine nature of the lands under its control the best we can and the black rubber tire marks do not belong there and are unsightly.

Maybe bring along a wire brush to clean up after ourselves? ~flowers ~rockon
