California 78Mine Wash is a cool place to off-road and about two miles down the dirt road is the Kumeyaay Historic Village Site. There a few larger rocks you can climb for a view, some trees, and some historic evidence of those that lived here in the past. Worth a short detour off the main road for the scenery of the desert.

To get to the trailhead: From Christmas Circle in Borrego Springs, drive 11.5 miles southwest on Borrego Springs Road. Turn left on Route 78 East and drive 6.6 miles to the desert hamlet of Ocotillo Wells in Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area. Turn south on Split Mountain Road.
About 8 miles from Route 78, and 2 1/4 miles past the Elephant Tree Trail Area, the pavement comes to and end. Turn right on a dirt road up the center of a sandy wash. Road conditions may vary, but the route is typically not entirely suitable for low clearance vehicles. After 1.4 miles, cross the turnoff for Fish Creek Campground, and continue up the road.
The canyon narrows and steep stone walls rise up around the road, adding gravity to the trip up the split between Fish Creek Mountain and Vallecito Mountain. Drive another 2.75 to the trailhead, located on the left, on the inside of a curve in the road just after it exits the mountains. A sign for Wind Caves Trail is positioned at the trailhead.
