A lot of climbing...

This route is the best way to experience Mt Palomar.  It gives you 2 options for returning: either reverse your route by climbing the East Grade (fora total of 75.8 mi & 11,876' of total climbing), or return to Valley Center Rd along the mountain's base on Rt 76.

This is a two-way route, but it's easier to just do one way.  I ride back, too.  To get to my car.

It starts by going up a fairly steep hill, and the rest is easier.

There are MANY more routes available at Daley Ranch!
