Beautiful Badlands: Twisting Journey From the Pacific to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Spectacular Fonts Point (A Joyride Guru San Diego County Day Trip)

Drive from the ocean to the desert, through the city, mountains, and the desert town of Borrego Springs, ending at Fonts Point for spectacular views of San Diego County’s unique ecosystem.

It’s a challenging drive after leaving urban San Diego County and an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for the loose-sand road to Fonts Point.

Part of the Joyride Guru series of San Diego area journeys, author Jack Brandais is a San Diego native and since 2000 has been the driving columnist for the local newspaper.
