Our favorite pie spot is the most popular. It’s possible to buy pie by the slice (with toppers such as ice cream or even melted cheddar cheese), whole pies, or pies to bake at home. Their little Main Street cafe offers good coffee, jugs of apple cider, and a lovely little patio area to sit in.
A visit to the Julian Cider Mill, family-owned and operated for over 30 years, may give you more insight into the process and the final product. During apple season, they’ll press cider on an antique press in view of visitors.
The lake is a premier destination for fishing in San Diego County, but this spot is also perfect for the whole family. Whether your hobby is boating, camping, bird watching, or hunting, you’ll have a fantastic afternoon on the shore.
Three Sisters is a roughly 4-mile hike and bears similar struggles as Cedar Creek. The descent decreases 1000 ft in elevation and can be difficult to get into and out of.
One of the more unique things to do in Julian, the California Wolf Center allows you to learn more about San Diego County’s resident wolf packs and to see these impressive animals up close.
