Review:

The Boucher Hill Loop Trail is 3.5-mile hike in Palomar Mountain State Park to the top, where a fire tower was built in 1948 to monitor the area during the fire season, from May to December. The view of San Diego County and parts of Riverside and Orange Counties is spectacular. The trail starts at the Silvercrest parking lot and climbs steadily to gain 800 feet in elevation, passing at times through lovely groves of black oak trees with some fir and cedar trees. If you hike in November, you will enjoy the beautiful display of bright golden oak leaves.
