California Desert Adventures – Jawbone / Randsburg / Husky Memorial / Trona Pinnacles

ANZA-BORREGO STATE PARK I found Anza-Borrego State Park on a business traveling from Los Angeles to Brawley, California.  Borrego Springs is about three hours southeast of LAX and about two hours northeast of San Diego.  On this day I was driving from LAX and made my way to Borrego Springs on Montezuma Valley Road which approaches from the west.  The first sight of Borrego Springs was from a vista high above the city and Anza-Borrego State Park View of Borrego Springs from Montezuma Valley Road Vista I arrived about 1.5 hours before sunset so I had  to hurry to get…

2018 Mugu Peak Hike – California

Banff is one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of visiting several times over the last twenty years.  This time was was able to import my my wife with me for a few days.  This is what we saw.
