Your San Diego location puts you close to Tijuana, Mexico,
which is only 16 miles away. What's the easiest way to get there?
Drive to the Old Town Transit Center, downtown and hop on one
of their San Diego Trolley for a 45 minute ride that will take
you to the border, 619-233-3004, and then just walk across.
Only 127 miles away you'll find Los
Angeles, CA and lots of fun things to see like Mann's Chinese
Theater, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area,
the Queen Mary, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the J Paul Getty
Museum, the Southwest Museum, the Gene Autry Museum, the Fort
MacArthur Military Museum, shopping along Rodeo Drive, and more
theme parks than you can shake a stick at!
Closer by, at just 60 miles north, you'll find Temecula, CA.
Here you'll find lots of wineries right off I-15, a fun Blue
Grass Festival in July, the Temeku Golf Course, great shopping
and dining in Old Town Temecula, the Lake Skinner Recreation
Area, the Temecula Valley Museum, and several hot-air balloon
companies just waiting to give you a bird's eye view of the area.
Just an hour away from San Diego and 15 miles from Anza Borrego
Desert State Park is the colorful little town of Julian,
CA, Chamber of Commerce, P O Box 413, Julian, CA, 92036, 760-765-1857.
Perched at 4,235 foot elevation, this mountain top town features
wildflowers in May, refreshingly cool temperatures in the summer,
and a splashy show of colors in the fall. A great place to start
your Julian tour is right downtown. Here you'll find neat antique
stores, historic buildings, carriage rides, craft shops, gift
stores, and fun restaurants. You'll also want to visit the great
local fruit stands and wineries. Want to explore some of the
area surrounding Julian? Then be sure and stop in at the Chamber
of Commerce office, in the historic Town Hall, for a copy of
their maps and brochures.
If you love outdoor beauty, before you leave the area, you'll
want to spend some time at the William Heise County Park, off
Pine Hill Road, 760-694-3366. Here you'll find wonderful pine
forest, meadows, and with any luck will spot some of the local
residents like Mule Deer as you wander the hiking trails. If
you'd like a little critter to hike along with you, you'll find
both llama hikes and donkey treks offered in Julian.
