CEDAR
CREEK FALLS
It’s worth the challenging
6-mile hike through the
backcountry hills of East
County, which leads to an
awe-inspiring waterfall that
plunges 80 feet into Devil’s
Punchbowl. Explorers take
note: You must get a Visitor
Use Permit. Go during cooler
months (October–June) and
take plenty of water.
ANZA-BORREGO
DESERT STATE PARK
Called one of the most pristine
desert parks in the world by
National Geographic, this
640,000-acre state park is
California’s largest. Natural
wonders abound, from slot
canyons and rugged badlands
to palm tree oases and
wildflower fields. Fonts Point, a perfect perch at sunrise or
on full-moon nights, overlooks “California’s Grand Canyon,”
a mind-blowing landscape of sculpted badlands and sand-colored arroyos.
