These estimated 3 million blooms of different narcissus varieties, planted over the course of the past 30 years as part of a community movement known as &#8220;The Julian Daffodil Project&#8221;, can be seen all over highways and hills throughout town- it&#8217;s an iconic display enjoyed by both visitors and locals alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9644.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a long winter, there&#8217;s suddenly lots to do around Julian. This is the season when U-pick orchards open their gates for flower picking, local farm stands reopen, and the town starts to host its spring events. As trails dry out and weather becomes warmer, conditions become ideal for hikes in local mountain ranges. It&#8217;s not an uncommon sight to see PCT hikers stop through town for supplies as they begin their journey up the Pacific Crest Trail. Wildflower seekers from all over Southern California visit local eateries on their way to and from Borrego. The town vibrates with life, energy and excitement that is abundant at this time of year- it is the perfect time for a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"486\"  src=\"https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/briarpatchcottage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_9633.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering a visit to Julian and the surrounding mountains during the Springtime months, keep the weather in mind and prepare for potential wind and the occasional rainstorm.
