DeAnza Springs Resort

There was a group for DeAnza but the owner has been off line for three years so I decided to create a new group.

A member shared this with me and it seems like good information
The trails are not exactly marked, but many are pretty obvious. They do have a binder in the sitting room across from the office that has some trails described in it. The map they give you is almost useless (about a 35th generation photocopy). From the office, there is a very nice trail SE (right). You will go by an old movie set and then past the water towers (tanks), you can follow a pretty easy trail up to some great views and beautiful rock formations.

From the opposite side of the resort, there is a trail that takes you by an abandoned train, for an easy yet very pretty hike, you can follow the train tracks. They lead across bridges and through a tunnel. Remember your water, it is warm out there. It is also a good idea to tell the office you are going out hiking and check back in with them, just to be safe - if you don't come back, they send someone looking. There are also sensors located around for illegal immigrants and Border Patrol are very quick to respond. Don't worry, they don't mind if you are naked, and you can't get into any trouble. The office knows where many of them are and can warn Border Patrol, they are pretty far away though.

Hope to get some hikes in this weekend. Might be T-Storms Saturday night but low 100's today.

Well, I just spent two hours hiking the trails and had a great time. Never saw another person. Climbed to the top of the hill behind the camp site and took some pictures. This place is great and I'll be coming back for sure.

well, I like the place so much I leased a spot and now leave my RV here full time.

Try to come up here on the weekends. Really enjoy the trails and just being out in nature.
