    Palomar Mountain is located in the heart of the Cleveland National Forest, offering a beautiful and rugged landscape for cyclists. As you ascend, you'll pass through dense forests, with towering trees and rocky outcrops that provide a scenic backdrop to the climb. The upper reaches of the mountain provide sweeping views of the surrounding valleys, including Pauma Valley and beyond, with the ocean visible on clear days. The summit itself is home to Palomar Mountain County Park, offering respite for cyclists with picnic areas and a peaceful atmosphere amidst the towering pines. The area is also known for the Palomar Observatory, a short drive from the peak, which offers incredible vistas and a fascinating glimpse into the world of astronomy.
