This unusual oasis in the desert features a forest of native palm trees clustered around a stream, which flows year round and is a beautiful sight. The pinnacle of this hike offers sweeping views of the gorgeous San Jacinto Mountains and valley floor.

Bodega Bay is a haven for coastal birds, lending it further credence as an ideal filming location for Hitchcock\u2019s masterpiece. The stunning scenery of the coastline offers amazing views of the Pacific, from the calm spray of the water along the shores and cliffs to the brilliantly colored sunsets that are sure to captivate.

This region is often compared to France\u2019s Bordeaux and Burgundy area for the wine\u2019s quality, and California\u2019s wines have consistently won international awards ahead of other famed wine regions. Dry Creek Valley is one of the smallest appellations, but is the home of the Ferrari-Carano, Quivera, and Lambert Bridge wineries, where you can enjoy a wonderful selection. The wine caves at Bella are well worth a side trip, and the lawn beneath their olive trees is the perfect place to relax while savoring the gorgeous view.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-row-container\\&quot;\">\n<div id=\"\\&quot;el-b6f28c1f\\&quot;\" class=\"\\&quot;vce-row\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;all\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-row-content\\&quot;\" data-vce-element-content=\"\\&quot;true\\&quot;\">\n<div id=\"\\&quot;el-2a7737ef\\&quot;\" class=\"\\&quot;vce-col\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-col-inner\\&quot;\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;border\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-col-content\\&quot;\" data-vce-element-content=\"\\&quot;true\\&quot;\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;padding\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-single-image-container\">\n<div id=\"\\&quot;el-efd3ebd6\\&quot;\" class=\"\\&quot;vce\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;all\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-single-image-inner\\&quot;\"><img class=\"\\&quot;vce-single-image\\&quot;\" title=\"\\&quot;JoshuaTree\\&quot;\/\" alt=\"\\&quot;\\&quot;\" data-width=\"\\&quot;600\\&quot;\" data-height=\"\\&quot;400\\&quot;src=\\&quot;|!|vcvUploadUrl|!|\/2020\/08\/JoshuaTree-600x400.jpg\\&quot;\" data-img-src=\"\\&quot;|!|vcvUploadUrl|!|\/2020\/08\/JoshuaTree.jpg\\&quot;\" \/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\\&quot;el-800cb899\\&quot;\" class=\"\\&quot;vce-col\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-col-inner\\&quot;\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;border\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-col-content\\&quot;\" data-vce-element-content=\"\\&quot;true\\&quot;\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;padding\">\n<div class=\"\\&quot;vce-text-block\\&quot;\">\n<div id=\"\\&quot;el-9e476e1c\\&quot;\" class=\"\\&quot;vce-text-block-wrapper\" data-vce-do-apply=\"\\&quot;all\">\n<p class=\"\\&quot;p1\\&quot;\"><span class=\"\\&quot;s1\\&quot;\"><b>Joshua Tree National Park<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\\&quot;p2\\&quot;\"><span class=\"\\&quot;s1\\&quot;\">Joshua Tree National Park is a photographer\u2019s paradise drawing visitors from across the globe to experience the incredible boulder formations, diverse wildlife, and unbelievable night sky stargazing.
