During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Mission Trails Regional Park
Located well off the beaten track for tourists, this is one of the nation's largest urban parks, a 5,800-acre spread that includes abundant bird life, two lakes, a picturesque stretch of the San Diego River, the Old Mission Dam (probably the first irrigation project in the West), and 1,592-foot Cowles Mountain, the summit of which reveals outstanding views over much of the county. There are trails up to 4 miles in length, including a 1 1/2-mile interpretive trail, and some of which are designated for mountain bike use, and a 46-space campground (tel. 619/668-2748). The park came about in 1974 when the area surrounding Cowles Mountain began to experience a housing boom; city and county representatives worked with Navajo community planners to make an initial purchase of land. In 1989 the first park ranger was hired, and in 1995 the visitor center opened, cementing a place for Mission Trails in the hearts of outdoor-loving San Diegans. The 2003 fires licked at the northern edge of the park, leaving scars that are slowly healing.

San Diego Museum of Art
With one of the grandest entrances along El Prado -- the rotunda at the head of dramatic stairs features striking Spanish tile work -- the museum is known in the art world for its outstanding collection of Spanish baroque painting, and possibly the largest collection of Indian paintings outside India. The American collection includes works by Georgia O'Keeffe and Thomas Eakins, and San Diegans like Maurice Braun and Dan Dickey are represented. Over 12,000 pieces are part of the permanent collection, only a small percentage of which is on display at any given time, in favor of varied, often prestigious touring shows. In 2005, Maxfield Parrish -- Master of Make Believe should be a big hit, featuring 70 fanciful works by the early 20th-century artist (the show runs July 16-September 11).Docent tours are scheduled at 1pm daily, and 2pm Friday and Sunday, and at 11am other days. Plan to spend at least an hour here.

Coronado Municipal Golf Course
This is really more for people who are vacationing in Coronado and just can't bear to leave the "island." It is an 18-hole, par-72 course overlooking Glorietta Bay, and there's a coffee shop, pro shop, and driving range. It's tough to get a tee time here, so 2-day prior reservations are strongly recommended; call after 7am.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the San Diego area, including:

Empress Hotel of La Jolla
The Empress Hotel offers spacious quarters with traditional furnishings a block or two from La Jolla's main drag and the ocean. It's quieter here than at the premium clifftop properties, and you'll sacrifice little other than direct ocean views (many rooms on the top floors afford a partial view.) If you're planning to explore La Jolla on foot, the Empress is a good base, and it exudes a classiness many comparably priced chains lack, with warm service to boot. Rooms are tastefully decorated (and regularly renovated), and well equipped. Bathrooms are of average size but well appointed, and four "Empress" rooms have sitting areas with full-size sleeper sofas. Breakfast is set up next to a serene sun deck.

Holiday Inn Express-Old Town
Just a couple of easy walking blocks from the heart of Old Town, this Holiday Inn has a Spanish colonial exterior that suits the neighborhood's theme. Inside you'll find better-than-they-have-to-be contemporary furnishings and surprising small touches that make this hotel an affordable option favored by business travelers and families alike. There's nothing spectacular about the adjacent streets, so the hotel is smartly oriented toward the inside; request a room whose patio or balcony opens onto the pleasant courtyard. Rooms are thoughtfully and practically appointed, with extras like microwaves and writing tables. The lobby, surrounded by French doors, features a large fireplace, several sitting areas, and a TV. The hotel entrance, on Jefferson Street, is hard to find but definitely worth the search.

Embassy Suites Hotel San Diego Bay-Downtown
What might seem like an impersonal business hotel can actually work out to a good deal for families, if you can snag a room when a big convention isn't forcing up downtown rates. This spot provides modern accommodations with lots of room for families or claustrophobes. Built in 1988, the neoclassical high-rise is topped with a distinctive neon bull's-eye that's visible from far away. Every room is a suite, with a king or two doubles in the bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the living/dining area; each has convenient features like a kitchenette and a dining table that converts into a work area. All rooms open onto a 12-story atrium filled with palm trees, koi ponds, and a bubbling fountain; each also has a city or bay view. Located 1 block from Seaport Village and 8 blocks from the Gaslamp Quarter, the Embassy Suites may be a second-tier choice of convention groups (after the pricier Grand Hyatt and Marriott), but it provides solid extras like a full breakfast and complimentary evening cocktail hour.
