Drive - San Diego, Salton Sea, Laughlin
California

Trip Planning logo

The Salton Sea, Sierra Madres, and the Colorado river are highlights in this area.

John's Trip Comments A special drive that leads you to mountain tops and back again to a sea level less than the Pacific. The mountains just east of San Diego are very scenic, but the Salton Sea stands out above most during the drive. Here the smooth waters are almost hypnotizing, but as you again leave the area on the way to Laughlin the mountains become more prevalent and at times one can see the Colorado River.
John`s Recollections - 2009

Mountain range to the east of San Diego does not have the height of the Rockies and it descends rapidly to a point that the Salton Sea is below the level of the Pacific. Can remember vividly that the sea was like glass, so smooth and still that distances could not be interpreted. After passing the Colorado river and nearing Lauglin the landscape became more mountainous.
