In San Diego's East County, the terrain varies from gentle foothills to mile-high mountains and the historic
mining town, Julian, down to the 600,000-acre Anza Borrego Desert State Park, offering nature-conscious
visitors endless opportunities to hike, camp, fish, observe wildlife and much more. In San Diego's North
County, the land produces quantities of flowers as well as quality grapes that become excellent wines,
which are served at some of the most elegant restaurants and resorts in the region. Along the west, 70
miles of Pacific Ocean coastline not only supports year-round outdoor recreation, such as surfing,
boating, sailing and swimming, but also important scientific research at the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography. To the south, it's a whole different country, Mexico, featuring its own cultural offerings in
various towns along the border and coastline, including Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada.
