The Bluff Trail and Point Buchon Trail at Montaña de Oro State Park offer spectacular coastal scenery, seabirds, sea otters, and wildlife along California's Central Coast.

Palomar Mountain State Park feels worlds away from Southern California's coast. From forest birds and quiet trails to wildflowers and mountain views, it's a favorite day trip that keeps drawing us back in every season.

The short trail through Culp Valley leads past cactus and tall yucca to broad views over Borrego Valley, the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the rugged country surrounding Hellhole Canyon.

Camp at Culp Valley Campground in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and discover scenic desert landscapes, primitive camping, hiking, and helpful tips for planning your visit.
