The airport, from where we came, is on the other side of the bay, to the left of downtown. To the right of downtown you can make out the curve of the famous Coronado bridge connecting the island with the city.
And incredibly, in the very distance, on the horizon on the left side of the picture you can see the massive Mt. San Gorgonio, at 11,503 feet the highest mountain in Southern California. Read more about it here. To its right you can see Mt. San Jacinto, the massive peak above Palm Springs. It’s 10,833 feet high. Here is a post about San Jacinto and the famous cactus to clouds (C2C) hike.
These mountains are 120 miles north of San Diego. The air was obviously very clear today.
In reading your blog over the years, you don’t seem to spend much time there!?
It’s a lovely, temperate town with a great zoo. Been there quite a few times, always remember to bring a sweater, even in summer. You are lucky to live there.
:). I have been on the road a lot. In Columbus, OH right now, Brrrr. Going back for the weekend though. I love living in San Diego. Have lived there since 1985 and find it my favorite place to live ever.
