You can tour the defunct mine's tunnels, ride through town in a horse-drawn buggy and shop for country curios and antiques in old-time buildings that now house stores. A number of bed-and-breakfasts operate in the town, including the Julian Hotel on Main Street, a designated historic landmark. Be sure to try the locally made apple pie if you have the chance -- it's famous among area gourmands.

Anza-Borrego Desert
Most of eastern San Diego County, which otherwise consists largely of sleepy suburban communities, is taken up by the more than 600,000-acre Anza-Borrego Desert , much of it a state park (free; $5 per vehicle). Some of it can be covered by car, although four-wheel-drive vehicles are necessary for the more obscure - and most interesting - routes. The best time to come is winter, when daytime temperatures stay around the mid-eighties. In the fiercely hot summer, it's best left to the lizards, but when the desert blooms , between March and May, scarlet ocotillo, orange poppies, white lilies, purple verbena and other wild flowers paint a memorable, and fragrant, picture. To find out more information, and begin your trip at a good jumping-off point, stop by the park visitors center , near park headquarters at 200 Palm Canyon Drive (daily 8am-5pm, weekends only during summer; tel (760) 767-5311.
