El Centro - Tourist Attractions / Parks

El Centro's most notable attractions are its natural ones. The eerie Crucifixion Thorn Natural Area, the fossils left in dry lake beds, the mud pots bubbling along the road - these all define El Centro as much as its rich cultural heritage. After exploring canyon walls and mountain slopes awash with color, explore some of El Centro's old buildings - Salvation Mountain's old army post and the old post office, to name a couple - or attend a show in one of El Centro's theaters.
