In 1958 I drove up Palomar Canyon in a 2-wheel drive ton and a half flatbed truck full of Sierra Club'ers & their camp gear to a Rancho in a huge
palm grove well up the canyon-----on a really good dirt road---------that road later washed out, and I was never able to return to that Rancho tho I
tried several times over the later years.
Palomar Canyon is a jewel, and huge!!!

Palomar Canyon on maps

Maybe well known to Baja nuts, but not seen or mentioned in most books and maps...
Here are 2 maps and 2 'zooms in' on the canyon...
First, the now reported out-of-print, 2009 Baja CA Almanac (if this is a tease tio get you to buy one, great) page, followed by a zoom in on the
canyon area.
Next, the long out-of-print 2003 Baja CA Almanac page, then a zoom in on the Palomar Canyon area. Note that the 2003 and earlier Almanac were of
higher detail/ bigger scale than the 2009... so older is still good to get, if you can!




That runway is by the general's abandoned hunting lodge at the entrance to Santa Isabel Canyon.

You know, David, after looking at your maps, I am thinking that my memory might be failing me on this one------referring back to my post about the
1958 trip, perhaps it was Santa Isabel Canyon that we went up that trip--------I know I have camped several times in each of those canyons, but now I
am thinking the "Sierra club trip" that I drove the flat-bed truck up might have been Santa Isabel. (that was a long time ago)
