Eagle & High Point Gold Mine

Not far from San Diego is one of the best-priced activities in Southern California - the Eagle Mining Co. Tours. For a mere 10 bucks you can see a mine frozen in time. Abandoned claims in this less-than-profitable gold mine have given us a first-hand view of the San Diego Gold Rush of 1870. Julian is a charming little town too where apple orchards thrive and you can get a piece of Julian apple pie.
