At Monster Park, your kids can ride a dolphin, slay (then slide down) a dragon, wrestle an octopus and escape from the belly of a whale all before nap time.

The West Coast has its own Lady Liberty and she stands proudly in front of El Monte City Hall, highly visibly on a street corner. She's much smaller than her Liberty Island counterpart, but no less imposing or eye-catching. The other difference is the material - the El Monte statue is made of fiberglass while the one in New York is made of copper.

Established 1915 this former Richfield gas station in the Inland Empire is remarkably maintained. The city of Cucamonga has preserved the station well and restored it to its original appearance from a century ago.

Embedded within the Cajon Pass is a striking rock formation named for a group of Mormon travelers making their way through in 1851. The rocks are visible via a one-mile trail loop. They are home to a variety of wildlife including lizards and pack rats as well as several birds of prey. As a precaution, take plenty of water with you and watch out for rattlesnakes!

Roy Roger's horse was upgraded to this 24-foot tall statue. Trigger was a movie star in his own right, appearing in dozens of Hollywood films. The anatomically correct fiberglass Golden Palomino once stood guard at Sunset Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary, but now greets guests visiting the Spirit River Center.

Fire departments around the nation stood together when their FDNY brethren and sistren died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Barstow FD paid its own tribute by commissioning a giant fiberglass statue of a firefighter's helmet. Emblazoned on the helmet is the number "343" which isn't the company number but the number of FDNY lives lost on that pivotal day in American history.

Peggy Sue's 50's Diner opened in 1954 just 5 years before Buddy Holly tragically died in a plane crash. True to its origins, the diner is a step back into an era of bobby socks and red jukeboxes. The menu is also reminiscent of the '50s - comfort food at its best. Deep fried pickles, strawberry milkshakes, and meatloaf are some of the tasty fare served here.

Jenny Rose Restaurant Sign: This iconic sign was made famous when singer/songwriter, Sheryl Crow, used it as the back cover art on her debut album "Tuesday Night Music Club" way back in 1993. Clearly visible from the 15, this is a fun pitstop on your way to or from Vegas.

Unfortunately, these funky looking cars are locked behind a chain link fence. But you can still see these patched-together hunks of metal from the road which made appearances in the first two "Mad Max" movies. Even the land they're parked on and the surrounding area look like a world straight out of a post-apocalyptic dystopian film.
