Anza Borrego 2001

Barrel Cactus

Near the Agua Caliente County Park we found a lot of barrel cactus. Cliff was intent on trying to find the largest one he could. Here are some photos taken during his search.


Cliff found a large barrel cactus, about 5 feet tall

Judy found an even larger one, nearly six feet tall

WOW!, here's a nice pair

One is nearly 7 feet tall

Looks like a nice match up

There were many cholla catus in the area as well.
We got some on our shoes again.

Cliff is up the hillside (lower right corner) checking out the largest one yet
