Anza Borrego Desert
Approximately seventy-five miles in a north-easterly direction from our home lies the Anza Borrego Desert. San Diego County has four diverse climates. They are coastal, inland, mountains, and desert. The drive to the desert is very hilly with hairpin and sharp "S" curves transversing a very scenic mountain drive. We arrived for what had been advertised as blossom time in the desert. While there were blossoms, the park rangers explained the colors have not yet come into full blossom. We did get to see a satisfying display.

The interesting fact that I learned is the Sea of Cortez once extended the distance to Palm Desert, CA. Land slides filled in the area and now the sea extends as far north as the Baja. This created our Anza Borrego Desert.
