San Diego to Borrego Palm Canyon
Hello and thanks all in advance!! I am making my way to the desert next weekend and was wondering the best route? Driving in the mountains is a new area and would like the safest option.

Going through Julian on 78 is nicer and less stressful and you can stop at Dudley's bakery in Santa Isabel for some apple pie from Julian or in Julian Pie Company in Julian, the Pie Company is to the left when the road makes a right turn in town instead of going straight, there is a general store on the left front corner it is gray in color at the cross road, the pie company is half a block to the left and across the street there is one heck of a good restaurant, or you can have dinner at the Boars Head, left corner at the cross roads.
For those in the know, Julian is a old mountain mining town, the town barber is a friend of ours and we go once a month at least.
Do not go down to Palm Spring on Highway 74 known as Pines to Palms Highway, I did that once on my 24 foot C and the dingy with adjustable brakes from the cabin, overdrive off, first gear at 30 mph and still managed to smoke the brakes, that is one steep hill, never again.
