We are camped in Galleta Meadows just out side of Borrego Springs
When you drive along the road these sculptures are scattered in the field
Galleta Meadows Estate is privately owned desert estate land that consists of many separate plots in Borrego Springs, California and that features over 130 large metal art sculptures. The sculptures were created by Southern California artist Ricardo Breceda via commission from Dennis Avery, the owner of Galleta Meadows.] Now deceased and an heir to the Avery label fortune, Mr. Avery located the sculptures on land he purchased for conservation. Galleta Meadows is unfenced and open to the public for visitation, including hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, photography, and bicycling every day of the year.The Galleta Meadows metal sculptures have different themes. The largest theme appears to be of prehistoric animals, including dinosaurs. Other themes have a connection to the desert environment in which they are located, such as desert animals, including scorpions and bighorn sheep. There is also at least one religious sculpture of a priest carrying a cross through the desert. There is also an approximately 350-foot-long dragon that gives the illusion of it snaking into and over top the desert sand.

Amazing sculptures! It looks like they are along both roadways and hiking trails.
Not on the trails , but people walk to see them up close and it makes a bit of a trail around them
