Experience the history of early San Diego here! Historic buildings include museums, unique retail shops, and restaurants. We love getting freshly-made tortillas filled with butter or fresh salsa from Cafe Coyote. The woman who makes the tortillas has been doing this for decades! Our favorite restaurant in Old Town is the Cosmopolitan, which is in a historic hotel building with authentic old west decor and furniture. The food is always very good here!

Where lush alpine forests meet the dry, desolate desert below... Prepare for amazing views from many spots all along Sunrise Highway! This is truly one of my favorite places on earth. The Pacific Crest Trail runs through Mt. Laguna, so there are lots of opportunities to pick up a little section of this famous trail that runs from the border of Mexico to the border of Canada.
