Borrego Springs Serpent Sculpture — Attraction in La Quinta

Great experience visiting the serpent and Galleta Meadows art sculptures in Borrego Springs. The Serpent is in two parts, each part on each side of the road.

The tail and lower body is in an open area like the rest of Galleta Meadows that you can that you can hike, horseback, and even drive your car through... however off-road OHV vehicles are not allowed.

The upper body and head of the serpent is on the other side of road, and has barrier so you have to get out of your car to get a photo of the head of the serpent. The walk is short and easy to traverse the dirt and sand.

Accessibility: The dirt and sand throughout the Galleta Meadows is mostly hard packed with a few loose spots. If your wheelchair has mountain/sand tires and a Freewheel... you are golden. If you have narrow street or court type casters, take your photos from the vehicle and ask someone to take closeups of the serpent head for you.

If you have power assist on your manual chair. SmartDrive and Smoov are not recommended (the dirt and sand is too fine & loose). Spinergy ZX1 and eMotion are doable.

Power chairs... depends on how off-road capable your power chair is. Tires, casters, bottom clearance. If you have an Omeo......

While the sculpture is a fantastic photo spot, weekends can get quite busy with visitors. Unfortunately, some people choose to picnic under the dragon, which can detract from the experience for others who’ve traveled far to take pictures and appreciate the sculpture. A little more consideration could make it even better for everyone.

That said, the Serpent Sculpture is well worth the visit! If you’re in Borrego Springs, don’t miss the chance to see this iconic landmark—it’s a testament to creativity and the beauty of...

It's kind of a walking and driving tour. I read that you could ride bikes, but there isn't much road to share. It's very dusty. However, as long as it's not windy you're ok. There's a lot to see and when it's busy it's hard to get the pictures you want. I felt like when you're at Disneyland and there's a line to take a pic with your favorite princess. But there's no line, it's everyman for himself. But everyone was polite. The serpent is like Cinderella, and the other creatures across the street were like Pocahontas, or even Dale and Chip. I would like to go back and visit more of the main town area at Christmas circle. And I think it would be...
