San Diego - Mission Valley

 
Mission Valley which was once the main pioneer route from Arizona is now best characterized by Interstate 8 flanked by a concentration of motels (hotel row), shopping centers and wealthy suburbs crawling up both slopes of the long valley.

The valley is named after the Spanish mission which moved inland from the coast to get a more reliable source of water and be nearer the Indians to be converted.
