Review & FAQ:
The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is a 3,000-acre area of mixed conifer forest on the slopes of Volcan Mountain, about 2 miles from the town of Julian. The preserve is very popular for scenic hikes along the 5-mile loop trail that winds through the old forests and provides magnificent views of the coast and desert. To get on the trail, visitors have to pass through the Volcan Mountain Trailhead, with the stunning Hubbell Gateway created by renowned artist James Hubbell. Once you pass through the gate, the trail will take you to the summit at an elevation of 5,300 feet, which offers 360-degree views of the magnificent landscape all around.
