Location
City insight: Julian
Julian is a census-designated place in San Diego County, California, that grew from a gold rush boomtown after gold was discovered there in the 1870s, and it is an official California Historical Landmark. Its high elevation brings mild summers and cool, sometimes frosty winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
