#10 of 10 San Diego county by gagrice Apr 11, 2007 (10:45 am)
I have several places I love to drive in the area. First: Hwy 78 from Ramona to Julian. Just down 78 a bit from Julian is the turnoff to S3 into Borrego Springs. Be sure and hike up to Palm Canyon while you are there. In the Spring the cactus are blooming and you will probably see Desert Bighorn Sheep. Off the same Hwy 78 is the intersection known as Santa Ysabel. Stop in a Dudley's bakery then onto Hwy 79. You will pass a very nice little mission on your trip to Warner Hot Springs. This is becoming a popular retirement area. They have a world class glider airfield with glider rides over the desert. This is the route I take on trips to Palm Springs. As a side trip from Hwy 79 take S22, it is a great winding road down to Borrego Springs. It is well marked on Hwy 79. A little passed Warner Springs is the turn-off to Hwy 371 at Aguanga. This is more wide open spaces with little civilization. It meets up with Hwy 74 that takes you down to the desert floor at Palm Desert in just a few miles. Great vistas with pull-outs to enjoy the view. I have had to wait for Bighorn Sheep to cross the road. These are great trips to try out that sport sedan. Just slow down going by any donut shops.
