Mount Palomar, CA

On top of Mount Palomar is the Palomar Observatory, managed by California Institute of Technology. The Hale Telescope, built in 1908, and once the world's largest, it is still a center of astronomical research.

Above: a photo of the Hale Telescope. Below: a model in the museum.

Along the road, a burn area.

Many blooming flowers and bushes along the way.
