One of my favorite hikes! This is definitely one of the harder hikes. It’s so bloody hot and can be brutal if you run out of water. Luckily once you make it to the bottom, you can relax by the waterfall. People bring floaties & you’ll catch some people jumping off the rocks. #LikeALocal

The town of Julian is a small town. Small town shops and restaurants. We loved walking through town and visiting the different shops. The surrounding area has antique shops and throughout the drive there are farm stands for fruit and egg's.

4/5 - Good

Small town, very touristy. But cute place to stroll, and a nice getaway from the city. I’ll definitely re-visit.
