stands of the California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, the only palm native
to the southwestern United States. There
are several groves, the largest with seven specimens. The dominant vegetation in the canyon, which is rather

comparatively abundant here. See Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Integrity: The
area is virtually undisturbed. It
