Review & FAQ:
Just north of the small town of Julian, on the slopes of Volcan Mountain, is the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve, created to protect the Volcan range and the natural habitat between the larger Palomar and Laguna Mountains. The preserve covers about 2,900 acres of mixed evergreen forest. There are about 5 miles of hiking trails to the Volcan summit, which offers spectacular views of the oak woodlands towards the coast and of the dry and lifeless landscape towards the desert in the east. Throughout the preserve there are picnic areas, scenic viewpoints and, during the season, hikes that are organized and interpreted by rangers.
