About this map

Palomar Observatory serves as the focal point of this high-altitude landscape, featuring the landmark Hale Telescope (200-inch) alongside its 18-inch and 48-inch counterparts. The terrain is characterized by a series of isolated meadows and high-elevation valleys such as Mendenhall Valley, Dyche Valley, and Pedley Valley, which break the forested expanse of the Cleveland National Forest.
