Every trip has to come to an end and ours was nearing it fast. Our frineds' flight was scheduled in the afternoon on the 18th day, so we still had a nice day to ride but we had to get closer to Phoenix, so they could safely catch their flight the next day. In order to avoid desert heat as much as possible we played out the return this way: We spent the morning in San Diego. Some - who visited SeaWorld the day before - went to check out the USS Midway, we rode to the Cabrillo National Monument at Point Loma. We regrouped around 1pm and headed to Palm Springs following a 200 mile pretty route that stayed at higher elevations almost all the way. The descent started only thirty miles from Palm Springs which kept the temperatures in a pleasant range.

San Diego is part of the 360 degree view from Point Loma / Cabrillo National Monument.
Higher elevations kept us cool almost all the way to Palm Springs.
Descending to the desert floor still entertained us with some great rides.
The desert floor grows windmills. The temperature is back to normal triple digits, but hey, it's dry heat!
Our last overnight stop: Palm Springs. Make sure your accommodation has a pool.
