Rain has already set in early in California. Some people will seek drier climates and the Ocotillo Desert in Southern California is a great escape from the cold climate. The Anza-Borrega Desert State Park also houses the famous Joshua Tree that has been made famous in pop culture by the likes of the band U2, which named one of its albums after it. The tree is supposed to be sacred and is now protected. The desert is sparse and spread out, and as you would expect in a desert, very dry with little plant life. Great desert escapes involve off-road recreational fun that includes motorcycle and ATV fun. The Ocotillo Desert area doesn't offer much in the way of lodging so you might want to consider designing a great RV trip to one of the campgrounds. If you decide to hike throughout the area, make sure you bring a proper map or GPS and lots of water. The climate is cooler in the fall and winter and offers the best time to explore the region without baking in the sun.
