BackRoads

Nate Harrison Grade ( aka. Nigger Nate) is a good quality dirt road that goes from pine filled forest of Palomar Mt. State Park down thru oak chapparel, winding switchbacks, manzanita bushes& end up in the rows of the citrus groves. Nice scenery over an agricultural green valley of the fast fading SoCal rural regions. This road is popular with the family SUVs, as well as 4x4 jeeps, & even the areas Mountain Boarders!

Fog is very common on this range

Primitive Camping
This area is a typically dry SoCal region, with high fire risk, therefore no primitive car camping is allowed. The majority of the dirt roads are closed off to public use, due to the high fire dangers.

For the areas best 'primitive' open camping options, try Anza Borrego Desert State Park

viewsSome of the best San Diego sunsets can be seen from a top this mountain range. Views go from Catalina Island south to Baja MX & maybe even sometimes the Salton Sea near the south end of Anza Borrego State Park.
