Horse country, the back country of San Diego County. Beautiful mountain foothills, oaks, wild grasses, big squirrels, snow sometimes, & seasonal streams. This residential community is on the way to Julian, the apple pie town of San Diego mountains. This rural residential area should not b confused with Descanso Gardens -one of Los Angeles's oldest botanical gardens.
