Galleta Meadows
Trip Stop:
Narrative:
Collection of more than 130 gigantic metal sculptures scattered across the barren landscape around the park. They are the work of an artist named Ricardo Breceda, who was commissioned in 2008 by Dennis Avery, the owner of the Galleta Meadows Estate, to create a collection of prehistoric creations on his three square miles of undeveloped land in Borrego Springs. Since then, the collection has grown to include human figures along with contemporary animals, such as big horn sheep, elephants, tortoises, horses, and more.
