Day Llama Treks in the Julian
Area
Menghini Winery Trek
Distance: 4 miles
Duration: 4 hours
$95 Per Adult, $75 per child (ages 10 and under)
Difficulty: ***Moderate
This overwhelmingly favorite trek trailheads at
Wikiup B&B and crosses overland through woods along a seasonal creek bed to a two-lane
country road. The scenery changes to open range land and apple orchards. A leisurely hour
is spent wine tasting and picnicking in the shade of the winery's own apple trees.
Following your selection of a bottle of wine (one per couple), we return to Wikiup via the
woods.
Eagle Peak Gold Mine Trek
Distance: 4.5 miles
Duration: 5 hours
$95 Per Adult, $75 per child (ages 10 and under)
Difficulty: *Easy
Kids vote this the most fun trek of all! We follow
back country lanes from the Wikiup B&B through rural country neighborhoods girdled
with oaks and pines to a panoramic view of the Salton Sea, Vulcan Mountain and Julian
townsite. The trek continues through the Julian Historical District to the Eagle Peak Gold
Mine. After a 45-60 minute tour through the mine and its' grounds, it's a short jaunt to
town and a leisurely picnic within the townsite. The return to the Wikiup continues via
rural paved roads.
Middle Peak Trek
Distance: 5.5 miles
Duration: 5 hours
$95 Per Adult, $75 per child (ages 10 and under)
Difficulty: ****Strenuous
This inspiring loop trek begins at Lake Cuyamaca and
ascends 1,000 feet to the summit of Middle Peak. The trail passes through dense forests of
black oak, white fir, incense cedar, ponderosa pines and sugar pines (some with diameters
over six feet). Following a hearty lunch and rest stop, we descend the mountain, embracing
spectacular views of thickly forested hillsides and lush meadows. Deer and wildlife
sightings are common for this area. A truly beautiful day trek!
