When fall swings around each year, it doesn’t always feel significantly cooler, especially if you’re in our bigger cities. It can be draining to be craving pumpkin spice lattes and nights by the fire when you’re still in summertime temperatures. However, there are places you can go in SoCal in the fall that feel like, well, actually fall. One of our favorite weekend getaways in Southern California, especially in the autumn, is the tiny town of Julian. This charming town of around 1,300 is home to Julian Farm and Orchard, a great spot for pumpkin picking. After you’re all done selecting your golden orbs, make your way to the Julian Lodge for a fun and relaxing night surrounded by seasonal hues. There’s so much to love about this trip, and next time you find yourself wanting to search “fall getaways near me,” we hope you’ll consider Julian.
