Review:
Located just outside Julian, William Heise County Park is a nice 1,000-acre public park with a campground, picnic tables and cabins for rent, and a network of trails for every level of fitness. The forested setting makes hiking pleasant on hot summer days. The Desert View Trail is fairly steep and challenging, through dense chaparral, but eventually leads to Glen’s View, with spectacular vistas out over the Anza-Borrego Desert area and the town of Julian. This is one of the three loop trails through the park. If you are lucky, you might be able to spot mule deer, flocks of Rio Grande wild turkey and, rarely, bobcats and mountain lions.
