Palomar Mountain Observatory. You're at mid ride, here. I hope you filled up the tank in Julian, cuz you're going to need the fuel. Elv. 5400Ft.

Palomar Mt.
**NOTE:OPTION** You have a choice here. The route I've created is one that keeps you on main State Routes as much as possible. Looking at the map you can see the "State Park Rd." junction. This is an absolutely gorgeous alternate route that will take you for a breath-taking ride on an alternate road with beautiful tree cover. The milage from the route I've mapped out and the "State Park Rd." alternate is almost the same distance. State park Dr. will become SR7 (Nate Harrison Rd./Nate Harrison Grade) and will end at SR76 (Pala Rd.) about 4 miles ahead of the original mapped route. follow the route from Point 1811 on the route.
