Lake Arrowhead brings 4 seasons to SoCal
Let’s face it: Southern California doesn’t have quite the Christmas charm of those snowy Norman Rockwell villages scattered throughout the hills and forests of New England and other locations to the north. But you don’t have to head north or even leave the state to find that same look and feel – just drive to about 7,000 feet elevation where you’ll usually find all the snow you need.
In Southern California that means a trip to the Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear vacation areas where you leave balmy temperatures and swaying palm trees to climb into mountains where there are real Pine forests and a chill in the air that always makes you wish you had brought heavier clothing.
In summer, the transition takes you from hot to comfortably warm. In winter, it’s more dramatic, taking you from the 70’s to temperatures cold enough to keep the snow on the hills. It’s all accomplished in about a 10-mile grade from San Bernardino on up to the edge of the world where, looking down, you see miles and miles of flat Southern California real estate stretching almost to the sea.

  |  | The picturesque journey up the winding Rim of the World Highway leads to an enchanting lakefront, mountaintop paradise that provides a sense of destination truly unique to Southern California. Nestled at 5,106 smog-free feet above sea level among the spectacular cedars, pines, and dogwoods of San Bernardino National Forest, scenic Lake Arrowhead sits just 90 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, yet seems a world away from the commotion of city life. We've heard it's because of our secluded, picture-perfect setting, 4 seasons and 310 days of sunshine and clear-blue skies each year.  |
