JULIAN
SNAP-SHOT
Return to State Index
Does your ideal get away include beautiful scenery, yummy
dining, and fun shopping? Then Julian is your kind of town.
In 1869, a shout was raised of "there's gold in them
thar hills" in San Diego's pine forested back country. Less
than one year later, Julian was all grown up with five stores,
two cafes, two blacksmith shops, two hotels, two livery stables,
eight saloons, and one church. Not wanting to depend on just
gold, the local folks started planting apple trees. You'll be
thankful they showed this foresight when you taste the wonderful
apple pies sold by several local bakeries. Just strolling down
Main Street will give you a chance to sample the goodies at the
Apple Alley Bakery, the Julian Cafe & Bakery, the Julian
Pie Company, and Mom's Pie House. If you've always wanted to
try candied apples, you'll want to head to the highly recommended
Candied Apple Pastry Company in the old firehouse at the corner
of 4th and 78. They also offer many other goodies to tempt you!
Naturally you are going to need to walk off some of those
calories and a great way to do that is by going from store to
store (and yes, men I can hear your groaning loud and clear).
Just some of the places you'll want to spend time are Julian
Bell, Book and Candle, the Old Julian Garage, and Applewood and
Company.
Those of you who prefer outdoor fun will want to tour the
Eagle and High Peak Mine 760-765-0036, take a trail ride at the
Julian Stables, or let a little llama lead the way at Leelin
Llama Treks, 1-800-526-2725. If you are really feeling adventurous,
you can get in touch with the folks at Sky Sailing, 760-782-0404,
where they will take you on a gilder trip over the mountains
and valleys surrounding Julian. Want something tamer? Then head
down to the Menghini Winery, 760-765-2072, to sample their local
wines or just enjoy the beauty of their working vineyards and
apple orchards.
What you'll give up in dry camping, you'll more than make
up for in view, if you manage to snag a spot along Lake Cuyamaca,
just outside Julian on Hwy. 79. If you want the convenience of
full hookups, a swimming pool, and a country store, you'll enjoy
your stay at the Stagecoach Trails RV, Equestrian, & Wildlife
Resort, 7878 Great Southern Overland Stage Route, Julian, 760-765-2197.
If when you leave town, you find yourself headed east on Highway
79 toward Highway 78 in Santa Ysabel, be sure and stop at Dudley's
Bakery, 30281 Hwy 78, 760-765-0488, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
This bakery prides itself on its huge selection of yummy breads,
pantries, and pies and for good reason. We tried some of each
and found it to be delicious!
