Escape for the day to the charming, gold-mining town of Julian – nestled among oak and pine forests in the beautiful Cuyamaca Mountains. This morning we’ll stop in Santa Ysabel at Dudley’s Bakery for an opportunity to purchase their freshly baked breads and pies before we continue along the mountain roads to Julian (elevation 4,200 feet). This entire town is a designated historic district that offers several delightful experiences, most notably Julian’s famous apple cider and apple pie! Enjoy approximately 4 hours at leisure to explore the boutiques, galleries and tasting rooms housed in Julian’s Victorian-style buildings dating back to the 1870s. Enjoy lunch on your own at a variety of restaurants and cafés. Available as an optional excursion this afternoon is a visit to the Eagle Mining Co. where you’ll experience life just like the miners of old did as you pan for gold and take a guided tour through a historic gold mine. On this enlightening, one-hour walking tour through multiple levels of the mine, you’ll see the tools and machinery that are frozen in time as your knowledgeable guide shares stories and history of the early Californians in search of the “Mother Lode of Southern California.” This tour involves driving on mountain roads. The mine tour involves extensive walking with a flight of stairs and dim lighting.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
