Today, March 15, 2010 we went to Anza Borrego National Park. It is located on the eastern side of San Diego County, with portions extending east into Imperial County and north into Riverside County.
We left our house at 6:30 a.m., to drop by in Vista, CA . We left the city at 9:05 and headed to 78 east passing by the San Diego Wild Animal Park at exactly 9:35 a.m.. We continued driving until we arrived in a small touristy town of Julian at 11:25 am and stayed there for approximately 23 minutes to look around. We left Julian at 11:53 am and started heading to Anza Borrego Springs.
At approximately 1:00 pm we arrived at Anza Borrego's Visitor Center. We asked for a map of the park and asked the people in the center for a nice place to visit. There are a lot of nice places to delve but we decided to go to Coyote Canyon. To reach the canyon, we left the visitor center and yield to the Christmas Circle and turn right to the second exits (I forgot the name) and we continued driving for maybe 2 minutes or more then turn left to Di Giorgio and then drive straight ahead for approximately 15 minutes to reach the canyon.
Here are few of the photos I took in Coyote Canyon:
