De Luz: The Secrets of Sandia Creek

De Luz: The Secrets of Sandia Creek rare photographic study of California's most under appreciated natural features. Located on top of the De Luz mesa between Fallbrook and Temecula in the center of one of Southern California's highest population density areas. 


Dropping almost 2200 feet in elevation via a series of over a hundred small slip falls to reach Pacific Ocean by joining the Santa Margarita River in San Diego County. The first ever ever book on this subject published.


The unique character of geography & deep gorges make actual visual to the impressive beauty of this unseen creek dramatically different in many ways to California's stereotypical waterways. 

This study took over 4 years. The new edition contains many new stunning color images.
