"IN THESE DAYS OF FAST FOOD, QUICK SERVICE AND HURRY-AND-GET-IT-DONE, WE CAN GET QUITE NOSTALGIC FOR TIMES WHEN LIFE'S PACE WAS SLOWER AND QUIETER; WHEN COOKING AND EATING WERE FAMILY ACTIVITIES THAT SERVED TO NOURISH THE HEART AND RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL AS THE BODY. DESCANSO JUNCTION RESTAURANT STRIVES TO RECREATE THIS ATMOSPHERE FOR BUSY FAMILIES, WITHOUT HAVING TO DO THE DISHES AFTERWARD."
There's GOLD in these hills! It’s no secret that Julian’s hills have gold in them. With the recent social media revolution increasing the pressure to find rare photographic moments, the Julian area is seeing an increase in lookie-loos attempting gold mine explorations. We highly encourage everyone to learn about Julian’s history, but there are safe ways to do it, and walking into a random gold mine is not one of them.... Click the link to learn about 11 reasons why you should NOT go exploring gold mines. Please educate yourself before going on dangerous activities. The good news is there are some safe ways to explore gold mines and learn about our local history. Julian Mining Company and Julian Farm is one option discussed in this article.
Breakfast is served! There's no need to make breakfast because our local restaurants are ready to serve you.
Only have one day in Julian? No problem. This guide of good day trip attractions you can experience at any time of the year is perfect for you. Pick one or a few of these actives for your next trip to Julian and you are sure to have a great time! Our town has a slow start and early bedtime, so I definitely recommend arriving by 10:30 or 11 a.m. so you can get the most out of your day.
Have you been to the Pine Valley House?
"The Warner Carrillo Ranch House served as the Butterfield Stage Stop and was California's first regular overland stage connection with St. Louis. With its multilayered history, the adobe ranch house tells the story of the emigrant trail, the overland stage, and the prominent ranching history of the area." Explore this place for yourself and learn about San Diego's history at the same time.
Now that the weather is cooler, this is the best time to explore Borrego Springs.
Julian has a shortage of public restrooms. It may seem like a simple problem to fix, but it's a complicated issue. You can learn why by reading this article. Who do you think is responsible for the bathroom shortage, the gold miners, or the San Diego Board of Supervisors?
Living the small-town lifestyle is so much more than your zip code. It is a true way of life with its own cultures and customs. No two towns are the same. Where you live in Julian or another community, I’m sure your hometown will share similar cultural costumes as my hometown. Do you long to live the small-town lifestyle?
"Laguna Mountain Lodge & Store is located on the S1 Scenic Byway - Sunrise Highway - at the highest point of Mount Laguna, in the heart of the Cleveland National Forest. Standing 6,000 feet above sea level, Mount Laguna is a pristine forest of pine and oak. Located just one hour east of downtown San Diego, this unspoiled location is one of San Diego's best kept secrets. The mountain is the perfect playground for hiking, mountain biking, camping, family activities, star gazing, or just relaxing." http://www.lagunamountain.com/

Take the 8 East to discover the San Diego Bakckountry community of Alpine.
Once an unheard of diet restriction, in recent years the need to be gluten-free has become considerably more mainstream even in little old Julian. Over the last few years, many restaurants have stepped up their game with gluten-free options. While these restaurants offer gluten-free menu items as described below, their kitchens are not gluten-free. These places offer items made without gluten but are NOT gluten-free so cross-contamination is possible.
The San Diego Backcountry real estate market is booming. Ramona is one of the many great communities the county has to offer. https://www.sandiegorealestatehunter.com//8-reasons-why-r/
