San Diego may be synonymous with beaches and sun-worshipping surfers, but the county is also home to a historic mining town that oozes mom-and-pop charm. There are the reasons that keep people coming back to Julian—the famous apple pie, quaint walkable Main Street, oak-lined hiking trails winding through the Cuyamaca Mountains. But there’s also a burgeoning crop of family-owned eateries and more types of locally crafted alcohol than you’ll have time—or liver capacity—for. It's also one of the few places in the county to see snow come winter.
