About
Palomar is one of San Diego's best mountain sites due to the micro climate which exists in the valley. SDHGPA membership required for Launch and LZ Gate access All Palomar launches and LZs are on private property. SDHGPA has only recently been given permission by the Pala Tribal Council to access the primary launch and landing areas after a lengthy site closure. Because of this and other Landowner agreements, site protocol is critical to the continued use of the site. http://www.sdhgpa.com/palomar.html
