Instead of hanging a right at the end of the Borrego Trail & heading up to Four Corners, try the tougher left and go to the Vista Point where you can see Red Rock Canyon from above.

Went up the dreaded hill path to the red rock canyon area. It's got a nice variety of scenery but just watch out for mountain bikers .
