For this part of the camping series, News 8's Doug McAllister headed for the mountains. Outside Julian, he visited William Heise Park which was a little more hidden than some of the nearby state parks but offered rest and relaxation amongst the trees. Lush greenery marked Doug's next stop: Palomar Mountain State Park. The area got an abundance of rain leading to its dense forest which felt similar to the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. Miles of hiking trails were another attraction of the park. Reporter Doug McAllister: The idea behind this series was to give people information on what was available locally for campers, hikers or any visitors. It was a time when many people were moving into the KFMB viewing area and may not have realized all that was available away from the ocean. Dana Clay shot and edited the series.
