One year we hiked to the top of Cowles mountain to the see the fireworks.Looking down on the first few was cool. One could see several shows to the west. Then the smoke got between us and the fireworks and it was over for the most part.
Most often we go to Poway and watch them out of our friend’s back yard now. I think there could be a convenient place to park and watch them. Our Vantage point is Pomerado road just nort of Ted Williams. The show is at Rancho Bernardo Middle School.
