Locations near San Diego

A good substitute for Joshua Tree is Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego County, a drive of about two hours from the city.  It's more desert scenery, with some pretty good badlands, mountains, bighorn sheep if you're lucky, ocotillo cactus, etc.

Even closer is Torrey Pines State Park (near La Jolla), which has scenic twisted rare pine trees on eroded high bluffs overlooking the ocean.  It's not particularly big, though, so it's not worth a whole day, but good for a couple of hours.

Osean side is beautifull at sunset..just 15 to 20 minutes North

Oceanside is about 40 miles north of downtown San Diego - just how fast are you driving, BlasR?  

(Or was that from Torrey Pines - *that* might be more like 20 miles...)

Hello,

I am traveling to San Diego, CA on business for a couple of days next week.  Does anyone have any recomendations for a photography location close enough for a day trip?  

I've been thinking about Joshua Tree NP, but it's a little far away.

Thanks,
