Palomar Mountain State Park

Parks, Palomar Mountain


Fodor's Review:

One of the few areas in Southern California with a Sierra-like atmosphere, Palomar Mountain State Park holds a forest of pines, cedars, western dogwood, native azalea, and other plants. Wildflower viewing is good in spring. Boucher Lookout, on one of several nature-hiking trails, affords a sweeping view to the west. There's trout fishing in Doane Pond. The Duane Valley campground holds 31 sites with tables, fire pits, and flush toilets.
