Boucher Hill summit in the distance



Boucher Hill is a nice little summit in Palomar State Park. It has a unique lookout tower on the summit. The tower was an important structure in the network of fire detection towers protecting southern California. It offered an unobstructed view of the Aguanga and Pauma valleys below, revealing areas that were blind spots to other towers. It is one of only two lookouts of its kind left in California.
