Metal Sculptures of Borrego Springs

Soon after we arrived in Borrego Springs we heard about the “sculptures”.  There are well over 100 life size or larger metal sculptures throughout the desert surrounding the town. We felt like we were on safari, hunting every one of them!  We spent 2 days, 3-4 hours each day and we went to every single one!The collection includes camels, sloths, llamas, wild horses, sabre  tooth tigers, mammoths, giant birds, wild pigs, sheep, tortoises and the famous dragon as well as many more!This all began in 2006 when the owner of the Galleta Meadows Estate, Dennis Avery, decided he really wanted…
