Hiking to the Bear Creek Oasis

I headed off towards the Bear Creek Oasis from the Cove Trailhead in La Quinta, CA in February. Winter and spring are the best times to visit here. There is a large parking area, and is a popular place to hike. There are plenty of signs, picnic tables, and a restroom here at the trailhead.

Road Trip on Highway 78: Snow in San Diego, and Desert Sculptures

It’s early March as I drive down Highway 78 toward the town of Julian. California is cool right now at sea level, and at about 4000 feet in elevation, there is snow. I would visit Inspiration Point, Galletta Meadows, and Hellhole Canyon, in Anza Borrego.
