Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

This is a perfect mix of city adventures & wilderness for those who want a taste of both. Start with visiting parks like Legoland and Seaworld. Spend a day at the San Diego Zoo & Wild Animal Park, then try surfing, kayaking, boat touring and bicycle riding. Head into the largest state park in California, amidst the desert where you can hike or tour by jeep. Pass the Salton Sea (before it shrinks) enroute to Palm Springs, where you can ride the Aerial Tram through 4 climate zones. Return to Los Angeles for more theme park action, or simply to fly home.
