Description

Photograph of Moosa Valley between Escondido and Valley Center. In the foreground, a rocky hill slopes downward as it approaches the middle of the image. A fence-lined, dirt road stretches across the base of the hill at an upward angle from left to right. Grassland on the far side of the road stretches across the valley. Hills jut into the valley at left and mountains rise in the far distance.
