Let me recommend taking the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway up to Mt. San Jacinto and explore the wilderness area up there!!! Huell Howser did that a couple years ago and the forest area up there is gorgeous!!! Take your backpacking stuff, tent, food and do a backpacking/Camping trip through the wilderness up there!!! They say when its 120 down on the Valley floor its about 30-40 degrees cooler up on the mountain!! Have fun!!!!!!!!

In regards to nature you have:
Yosemite - Very large National Park with plenty of camping, fishing and backpacking. Yosemite is home to Half Dome a beautiful hike that's hard to get permits for though.
The Lost Coast in Northern California by Humboldt County - Beautiful untouched coastline for over 50 miles. You can backpack the coast and go inland to small mountains too.
Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park - Home to Mt Whitney the tallest mountain in the contiguous US and other 14-ers like Mt Langley. Great place to backpack and hike. The Palisades Glacier is nearby too if you want to check it out.
White Mountain Range - Across from Whitney is the White Mountain Range that has White Mountain another 14-er and the Great Bristlecone Pine Forest that is home to the oldest non-clonal organism on earth: Methusaleh.
Death Valley in California - The hottest place on Earth.
Palm Springs - Mt San Jacinto is here that stands around 11k feet. They have a tram that takes you from the bottom to the top. So depending on what time of the year you travel you can go from triple digit temperature to seeing snow on top in minutes.
Colorado - The rockies and plenty of beautiful places to camp and hike here. I'm not as familiar with them.
Utah & Zion National Park. I've never been want want to go some day. They have amazing sights and tons of different things to see.
