When it's hot in the valley, head to the top of the mountain, where it's 30 degrees cooler. Nice restaurant, beautiful views and hiking to boot!

Called the "Camp David" of the west, come see who exactly visited the Annenberg estate over the years, tour the home and take in views of the 31-hole golf course surrounding it (advanced reservations required). The visitor center and gardens are lovely and do not require reservations. They have a nice film about the Annenbergs, videos about the estate, a changing art exhibit and wonderful gardens.

Check out the trail through the palm tree grove. It's short and shaded. There is a short, steep incline to the valley floor. More trails available, but make sure to take water and choose a cooler day.

It's free and starts in a palm oasis before heading out into more barren areas for hiking trails. This preserve guards the fringe-toed lizard -- we saw several and they are cool!
Check out the free walking tours on their website. I took a very interesting plant tour with Marcia who identified numerous plants and talked about how the local. Tribe used these plants.
