Desert View Picnic Area

Mount Laguna, CA

Simir Shah

By Simir Shah

Picnic tables on the edge of the escarpment with a straight drop-off view across the Anza-Borrego desert, plus a walkable section of the Pacific Crest Trail. It's windy and the drop is unfenced in places, so keep small children close to the tables.
