Travel
Julian is a historic mountain town tucked just a hour and fifteen minutes from San Diego and about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Los Angeles. The journey itself is part of the charm, with scenic backroads and plenty of worthwhile pit stops along the way.
Flying in? San Diego International Airport (SAN) is your best bet. From there, plan on renting a car—rideshares and public transit don’t venture far into the mountains.
Once you arrive, expect crisp mountain air, sweeping views, and a laid-back small-town feel that’s hard to beat. We can’t wait to enjoy the weekend with you!
