Description:
Dos Picos County Park is located in the Ramona area. Its name, Spanish for "two peaks," is derived from two prominent mountains nearby. Dos Picos is surrounded by ranchland and steep rocky slopes, which help preserve its secluded atmosphere. The peaceful, shady park is well suited for campers and picnickers. Camping sites include partial hook-up sites, tent sites, and a youth group area.
Free educator training is available for use of the Discovery Kits. Call (619) 390-7998 or (619) 561-0580, or e-mail Ranger Patty at
