Mount Helix rewards a short climb with panoramic views that explain why everyone in California seems suspiciously content. Lake Murray Park provides a refreshing escape where fishing lines dangle alongside kayakers who've discovered this urban oasis. Train enthusiasts find unexpected delight at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, where vintage locomotives sit frozen in time.
