Where else can you explore a beautiful nature trail, see countless lizards scurrying about, beautiful views of the city, enjoy living breathing street art, blissful solitude (we only passed one other family the entire time)…OH, and enjoy the creep factor of walking around a former Nazi compound right here in California?!

Wind Caves Anza-Borrego State Park Just thinking about our visit to this magical spot gives me goose bumps.
