Actually neither 79 or San Felipe Rd. is a problem. But to get down to Borrego Springs you turn off of San Felipe Rd. onto Montezuma Valley Rd. which is a steep windy road. People who want to avoid Montezuma Valley Rd. stay on San Felipe to Hwy 78 and them follow Hwy 78 to Borrego Springs Rd. and backtrack to Borrego Springs. You can turn on Yaqui Pass Rd. (before Borrego Springs Rd.) to get to Borrego Springs but is is a steep curvy climb up. If your brakes are in good working order I would use Montezuma Valley Rd and just downshift to a low gear. I see trailers transversing it all the time as well as motorhomes. Depends on your confidence level with your rig. If you have a hard time descending downhill without smelling your brakes I would stay off Montezuma Valley Rd.
