San Jacinto Mountain Adventure

As our final trip of 2017, JD and I met up in Palm Springs with our families to say goodbye to 2017, with the three things Where Gals Wander is all about: Travel. Nature. Adventure.-Zanne

First in our series: San Jacinto Mountain.
JD: After my European travels this summer, I’ve vowed to fall in love with as many places as possible. I don’t always have the time to travel abroad, but there is so much to see right here close to home. I’ve never lived so close to CA and have always wanted to see more of it, so our family getaway to Palm Springs was perfect! We packed a lot into a day and a half! The Aerial Tramway took us up to the top of Mount San Jacinto State Park. We hiked the desert trail and made it to all 5 lookout points.

Coming next in our series…
The next morning we hopped on a Red Jeep tour by Desert Adventures and hiked the amazing 1 mile Andreas trail loop. The palms surrounded us and we could hear the gentle running of water through the creek and even found a waterfall. We even spotted a few phainopepla, a crested songbird of the desert. It was so beautiful and breathtaking. I wish I could escape to that paradise every day! Good thing it’s only an hour flight or a 4.5 Drive because I want to go back!

New Orleans: More Than What To See And Do

New Orleans is more than what to see and do. It's more than beads hanging off of street signs. New Orleans is tasting powdered sugar on the fingers, cobblestones that rise and fall with every step; big porches with small details. It's big music, marching through the streets and gentle hospitality.

Heisler Park, Laguna Beach

Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, California is a perfect stop along the Pacific Coast Highway. It's a perfect mix of tropical and wild beach. If you want to truly appreciate how beautiful a beach can be, visit it early in the spring, after a rare Southern California dark and cloudy sky. Any beach can look appealing in bright sunshine and blue skies. For the wanderer that seeks raw and wild beauty where ocean touches the land, this is where you go.

Blooming Flower Fields of Carlsbad

I dreamt I walked through the blooming Flower Fields of Carlsbad. A sea of pink, white, red and orange flowers in rows of waves as far as I could see. I stepped into a painting with the breezes blowing off the ocean and could see the ocean from atop the hill. I realized I wasn't dreaming. This was a dream come true.
