County Route S6 (California)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

County Route S6 connects Del Mar with Palomar Mountain across San Diego County. It is one of few San Diego County Routes with a discontinuity in its routing.

[edit] Route description

S6 starts at San Diego County Route S21 in Del Mar as Via de la Valle. It crosses Interstate 5 and meets with S8 in Rancho Santa Fe at the intersection of Via de la Valle and Paseo Delicious. At El Camino Del Norte the name changes to Del Dios Highway, past the community of Del Dios and into Escondido, California.

About four miles east on SR 76, S6 begins again as South Grade Road, which winds northward on Palomar Mountain. It intersects with S7, then continues north until it ends at the Palomar Observatory.
