Contact:760-742-3462 (Park) / 760-742-2119 (Observatory)

MESA GRANDE ROAD
LAKES, WOLVES + A MOUNTAIN ROAD

MESA GRANDE ROAD

Turn off Highway 79 and take Mesa Grande Road. It’s a beautifully winding, oak-canopied drive through historic cattle ranches and open country. No destinations, just a great road for motorcycles, windows-down driving or catching the sunset.

Location: Mesa Grande Road, Santa Ysabel

Hours: Open road

VOLCAN MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS PRESERVE
LAKES, WOLVES + A MOUNTAIN ROAD

VOLCAN MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS PRESERVE

Hike to the summit of Volcan Mountain. It’s a moderately challenging climb through oak and pine woodland, but the reward is a massive view stretching from the desert to the coast on clear days.

Location: Farmer Road, Julian

Hours: Walking route available during daylight

Contact:760-765-1857

CUYAMACA RANCHO STATE PARK
LAKES, WOLVES + A MOUNTAIN ROAD

CUYAMACA RANCHO STATE PARK

Continue south beyond Julian into a huge landscape of oak woodland, meadows, mountain roads and miles of trails. This is the place for guests who want to turn a few hours outdoors into a full backcountry day.

Location: Highway 79 south of Julian

Hours: Check California State Parks for current day-use hours.

Contact:760-765-3020

VOLCAN VALLEY APPLE FARM
FARMS + GOLD COUNTRY

VOLCAN VALLEY APPLE FARM

More than 7,000 trellised apple trees make this one of Julian's signature U-pick experiences. Because the apples grow at arm's height, little pickers can actually reach them.

Location: 1284 Julian Orchards Drive, Julian

Hours: Seasonal. Check current harvest dates and fruit availability before visiting.
